a–f: A 35-year-old female, whose preoperative radiographs demonstrated a distal radius and radius head fracture, fell from a two-story height. Furthermore, posterior dislocation of the proximal ulna with displaced radius head fracture was diagnosed as a sign of convergent elbow dislocation. g–j: With the failure of initial closed reduction under general anesthesia for elbow dislocation, open reduction was attempted to unlock the stuck radius head. ORIF of distal radius fracture followed after replacement of radius head and repair of lateral collateral ligament and joint capsule. k–p: At the latest follow-up after the injury, the patient had nearly full range of motion of her elbow and wrist
