Abstract
A female delivered in a breech presentation after manipulation of the arms was found 2 days later to have sustained anterior dislocation of the left radial head. Surgical correction proved successful, and when re-examined 5 yr later, the elbow had remained normal. Apparently, in many cases of unilateral displacement of the radial head, detected later in life but reported as congenital, the malposition was a sequela of unrecognized birth injury.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
