Abstract:
We present a rare case of a chronic hemodialysis patient with a right radial arteriovenous fistula who presented to the emergency department with a dislocated elbow fracture associating a posterolateral dislocation with a Regan and Morrey stage 2 fracture of the coronoid process. Combined with an ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius.
First, we osteosynthesized the distal radius with a locked plate and the ulna with a tier tube plate. Secondly, we performed a bloody reduction of the elbow using a double approach, with osteosynthesis of the coronoid process by retrograde screw fixation and repair of the radial collateral ligament.
Early rehabilitation starting on day 1 post-op, and resumption of hemodialysis sessions the day after the procedure.
