Presentation
Congenital radial head dislocation is often asymptomatic, which may result in a delayed presentation. Patients usually present in adolescence, when the child starts using the limb more. [radiopaedia.org]
It is characterised by holoprosencephaly and limb defects, however other anomalies may also be present. Following the initial description, three further cases have been reported in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The book brings together a prestigious group of leaders in the field, who share their expertise and experiences to present the full scope of every aspect of elbow procedures. [books.google.com]
If these shapes are not present- the radial head and capitellum have not developed normally because it is a problem present since birth (i.e., not a trauma). [congenitalhand.wustl.edu]

Congenital Radial Head Dislocation Follow-up Care Asymptomatic patients can be as active in sports as their function allows. May consider limiting contact sports. [eorif.com]
Although it is most often bilateral, unilateral congenital radial head dislocation has been described. 6 Physical Examination Congenital dislocation of the radial head is typically discovered incidentally because it is most frequently an asymptomatic [healio.com]

The infant was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for observation and diagnostic workup. [neoreviews.aappublications.org]
Treatment
Treatment and prognosis Treatment is largely non-operative in the majority of cases 3 with analgesics and follow-up. [radiopaedia.org]
- treatment is directed to alleviating pain, increasing motion, and improving appearance; - if pt is doing well, recommended treatment is observation; - Operative Treatment: - excision of radial head is contraindicated in a skeletally immature pt, but [wheelessonline.com]
Sports-related injuries, as well as treatment of children's elbow injuries, are addressed extensively. [books.google.com]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Treatment is largely non-operative in the majority of cases 3 with analgesics and follow-up. [radiopaedia.org]
This has a less complicated prognosis with no surgery required. Complex Elbow Dislocation - involves the rupture of the ligaments and bone fractures mostly to the forearm. [pathologies.lexmedicus.com.au]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The long-term prognosis of an Elbow Dislocation is usually good, in a majority of the individuals. [dovemed.com]
Etiology
Etiology The underlying abnormality is hypothesized to be failure of development of a normal capitulum, causing loss of contact pressure required for normal development of the radial head. [radiopaedia.org]

Regardless of the etiology, radial head dislocation causes rather mild deformity and lameness and can be treated by conservative management, surgical correction, or radial head ostectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
There is no support for the common assumption that a relatively small head of the radius as compared to the neck of the radius predisposes the young to this injury. [ citation needed ] Pathophysiology [ edit ] The distal attachment of the annular ligament [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
Etiology and Prevention The etiology of elbow stiffness is the basis for its classification, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Traumatic causes of elbow stiffness include fractures, dislocations, crush injuries, burns and head injury. [consultqd.clevelandclinic.org]
Its purpose is to prevent movement of the arm at the elbow. Usually, the arm will be placed in a sling to help the patient hold the splint in a level position and to prevent pressure on the elbow joint. [emedicinehealth.com]
Physical therapy is recommended which helps to control pain and swelling, prevent formation of scar of soft tissue, and also helps in collagen formation. [middlesexortho.com]
The situation is rare in adults, or in older children, because the changing shape of the radius associated with growth prevents it. [en.wikipedia.org]
