Core Tip
Core Tip: Despite their rarity, the results of simple lateral elbow dislocations are gratifying if they are handled well from start to finish. Treatment may be terminated with closed methods or surgery may be required. Regardless of the method of treatment, the results are good with a close follow-up.
