Occult Elbow Dislocation with Brachial Artery Injury

Abstract

Kazuo Ikeda and Naoki Osamura

Although elbow dislocation is the second most frequent type of dislocation in the human body, complications in the brachial artery are rare. In addition, brachial artery injury due to elbow dislocation which is not discernible during the initial examination(occult dislocation) is even more rare.
