Abstract

The elbow joint is one of the most inherently stable articulations of the skeleton. Recurrent posterior dislocation of the elbow is a rare condition. We experienced a case of recurrent posterior dislocation of the elbow due to shallow trochlear notch and chronic radial head dislocation that was treated by transplantation of the biceps tendon to the coronoid process. We report on the case with a literature review.
