About Elbow Dislocation

Elbow dislocation is a common orthopedic injury where the bones of the elbow joint (humerus, radius, and ulna) are forced out of their normal alignment, often due to a fall on an outstretched hand. An orthopedic specialist performs a closed reduction procedure to manually guide the bones back into their proper position, restoring joint function and stability. This is typically done under sedation or anesthesia to minimize pain and muscle spasm. Following reduction, the elbow is immobilized in a splint or cast. A thorough evaluation, including X-rays, is essential before and after the procedure to rule out associated fractures (like a radial head or coronoid fracture) and ensure proper alignment. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent long-term complications such as stiffness, instability, or arthritis.

How to prepare

  • Immediate application of ice and immobilization of the arm in the position found.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
