Abstract: An unusual case of open dislocation of the elbow in with no associated neurovascular injury is presented. Despite almost complete disruption of the ligaments and the muscular attachments manual reduction of the joint were impossible because the common flexors were so taught and speed V-Y muscleplasty was done in order to obtain a concentric joint.
