The elbow is the 2nd joint most affected by dislocations. These often occur in a traumatic context and particularly during sport’s accidents. Lateral elbow dislocation is a rare form of this type of injury, and its pure form is exceptional and rarely reported in the literature. We report the observation of a pure lateral dislocation of the elbow in a young athlete (Judoka) aged 31. The reduction was performed urgently under general anesthesia. Immobilization by plaster splint was performed for two weeks, followed by rehabilitation. The functional results were very satisfactory with a follow-up of 8 months.
