Figure 2.

A 7-year-old boy was admitted 1 day after injury to the right elbow. The radiograph on presentation showed dislocation of the radial head (A and B). The elbow had loss of flexion due to elbow pain. We performed closed reduction of the radial head, closed reduction of the fracture of the ulna and insertion of an elastic stable intramedullary nail (B and C). Five weeks after the repair, the radiographs showed abundant bone callus at the ulna fracture, and the radial head remained reduced (D and E). The elastic stable intramedullary nail was removed and half a year after surgery, lateral and anteroposterior view of elbow illustrated good relationship between radial head and capitellum (F and G).
