IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING THE IMPLANTATION PROCEDURE ON (B)(6) 2015, THE PATIENT UNDERWENT AN OPEN TREATMENT OF LEFT ELBOW DISLOCATION WITH PRIMARY REPAIR OF ANTERIOR CAPSULAR AVULSION INJURY, A LEFT ELBOW RADIAL HEAD REPLACEMENT FOR FRACTURE AND A LEFT ELBOW PRIMARY REPAIR OF LATERAL ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT. ONCE THE INJURY WAS VISIBLE AFTER SUITABLE INCISION WAS MADE, THE SURGEON FOUND AN OBVIOUS CLEAR SOMATIC AVULSION OF THE LATERAL ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT OFF THE HUMORAL ATTACHMENT POINT, BUT THIS APPEARED TO BE INTACT DISTALLY ON THE ULNA. RADIAL HEAD FRACTURE SHOWED ALMOST FRAGMENTS. AFTER CLEANING THE WOUND SITE FOR BETTER VISUALIZATION OF THE OPERATING SITE, THE ARTICULAR SURFACE WAS LAGGED BACK TOGETHER WITH TWO (2) 2.0 MM LAG SCREWS, WITH HEADS COUNTERSUNK. THIS NOW STABILIZED THE ARTICULAR BLOCKS, WAS DIS-IMPACTED AND THEN A RADIAL HEAD LOCKING PLATE WAS APPLIED. ADDITIONAL LATERAL RADIOGRAPHS AFTER THE PROVISIONAL STABILIZATION SHOWED A NEAR-PERFECT REDUCTION; HOWEVER, THE ELBOW WAS WITH THE ELBOW BEING FULLY SUPINATED OR AT LEAST IN NEUTRAL POSITION. WITHOUT REALIZING THIS, THE SURGEON PROCEEDED TO STABILIZE IT FULLY WITH COMBINATION OF THREE (3) NONLOCKING SCREW
