A Very Rare Presentation of Open Dislocation of the Elbow in a Child: A Case of Total Section of Brachial Artery and Present Distal Pulse with Literature Review.

Abstract

Open elbow dislocation is a rare emergency in children. Its association with brachial artery injury is very rare. We report the case of a child admitted for total section of the brachial artery on open dislocation of the elbow before absence of signs of ischemia of the upper limb concerned as well as a review of the literature which is very poor.
