Incidence of elbow dislocation

P O Josefsson et al. Acta Orthop Scand. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

Totally, 178 elbow dislocations--with and without concomitant fracture--that had occurred in the city of Malmö in the course of 12 years were studied. There was some preponderance of left-sided injury, but no significant sex difference. The dislocations were most frequent in the very young and occurred most often in conjunction with sports activities.
