Concomitant lesions in the upper limb, due to trauma, have been rarely reported in the literature. The concomitant elbow dislocation and radial diaphyseal fracture is rare and constitutes challenging management for every orthopedic surgeon. Herein, we report a case of divergent elbow dislocation associated with a fracture of the ipsilateral radial shaft in a 26-year-old adult. Clinical and radiological findings prompted the patient to undergo surgery. The particularity of our case is that, although it is a rare dislocation of the elbow combined to complex fracture, surgical management followed by correct and long term rehabilitation had led to good outcomes.
