ABSTRACT
Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow describes a condition that radial head subluxation or dislocation occurs when forearm rotates externally in relation to humerus. It is difficult to diagnose and treat. We reported a typical case which was confirmed by physical examination and MR images. Ligamentous insufficiency was confirmed under direct vision, and was reconstructed with triceps fascia as described by Gong et al with slight modification. Regain of full function was achieved one year after surgery.
