| Summary: | Elbow dislocation is a common elbow injury classified into simple or complex depending on the associated bony injuries. Posterolateral dislocation is the most common, while posteromedial elbow dislocation is rare. Elbow fracture-dislocation in adults usually has a typical pattern of associated fractures.
