Posterior dislocation occurs when athlete falls on an outstretched hand with a little flexed elbow and it’s often connected with coronoid process or head of the radius fracture . Anterior dislocation mostly occurs by direct blowing to the back of the elbow, then this external force thrust the elbow forward against the arm. Elbow dislocation may damage important nerves and blood vessels, that’s why the prophylaxis is very important.
