Abstract
Ipsilateral dislocation of the shoulder and elbow is uncommon. Shoulder dislocation is often misdiagnosed on admission. We report the case of an 31-year old male whose dislocations were both recognised at the initial examination. Diagnosis pitfalls, mechanism, and management of this rare injury are reviewed. Keywords : dislocation, elbow, ipsilateral Nigerian Journal of Surgical Research Vol. 7(3&4) 2005: 319-320
