Özet

solated knee and elbow dislocations due to falls are frequently observed. However, dislocation of the kneesand elbows accompanied by that of other joints are less common. Ipsilateral dislocations have been reportedin the literature, although less frequently. When properly evaluated and diagnosed, most fallen and sportrelated dislocation can be reduced and initially managed at the game and reducing weight to prevent excessive weight gain and obesity, which can be a risk factor of fallen related dislocations and fractures, particularlyfemale. There is little information available regarding isolated knee–elbow dislocation in normal populationand athletes, slips and falls that result in elbow–knee dislocation injuries occur when the bones in joints areforced out of alignment. Complications that result from dislocations include accumulation of scar tissue thatrestricts the ability to move the joint and increased tendency for repeated dislocations. In addition to the surgical treatment, medical treatment, physical therapy and weight loss may help to heal dislocations. Here, wereport a case of contralateral knee–elbow dislocation for the first time in the literature.
