Abstract

A 13-year-old boy sustained an elbow injury during a gymnastics lesson. Radiographs showed an epi-physiolysis, Salter-Harris type I, with dislocation of the radial head. Under general anesthesia, a closed reduction with fluoroscopic control failed because of soft tissue swelling and the unfavorable position of the radial head. We decided to perform a percutaneous reduction, using a Kirschner wire.
