case_images: Plain radiograph showing Radial head fracture. The elbow dislocation was "missed" due to an inappropriate x-ray and subtle nature of dislocation on plain radiography. On the right side of the image, we can see that a "true" lateral view of the elbow was not taken. Also, on the anteroposterior view, there is an overlap of the radio-capitellar joint.

case_images: An initial radiographic evaluation (Fig. 1) indicated a radial head fracture, notwithstanding the regrettable oversight of the diagnosis of elbow dislocation.
case_images: Radiograph of the Elbow joint done at 3 weeks follow-up, which shows a "subtle" posterior subluxation of the elbow joint along with complete overlap of the radio capitellar joint with radial head fracture. A true lateral view on the right side shows posterior subluxation of the olecranon.

case_images: A subsequent radiographic examination at the 3-week follow-up identified a "subtle" posterior elbow subluxation in addition to the radial head fracture (Fig. 2).
case_images: Post-operative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs with ulno-humeral K-wire along with complete reduction of the elbow joint. There is no overlap of the radio capitellar joint, and the lateral view shows the distal humerus articulating with the olecranon fossa.

case_images: Subsequently, a smooth K-wire was utilized to transfix the ulna-humeral joint, coupled with the application of an extended forearm slab to facilitate soft-tissue convalescence (Fig. 3).
case_images: Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs at 1-year follow-up after k-wire removal.
