Description
Summary:Elbow dislocation associated with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and a brachial artery injury is an uncommon traumatic entity. The two references of this injury combination appeared in 2015, although both authors did not realise that they were the first two cases published in the medical literature. Although mentioned in the text of the articles, no mention was made of the fracture of the distal radius in the titles. The purpose of this paper is to present three cases with this new traumatic pathological entity, explaining its pathogenetic mechanism, the treatment used, and the results obtained. La luxación de codo asociada a fractura ipsilateral del radio distal y lesión de la arteria braquial constituye una patología traumática infrecuente. Las 2 referencias de esta asociación de lesiones aparecieron en 2015, aunque en ambas, los autores no advirtieron que constituían los 2 primeros casos publicados en la literatura médica; incluso en el título de sus artículos, no se hizo mención de la fractura del extremo distal del radio, pero sí en sus textos. El objeto de este trabajo es dar a conocer 3 casos con esta nueva entidad patológica traumática, explicar su posible mecanismo patogénico, el tratamiento utilizado y los resultados obtenidos.
