Isolated dislocation of the radial head without fracture of the ulna is an uncommon injury. Though rare in children, it has been reported. A review of the world literature revealed only two reported cases in adolescents. This paper presents three previously unreported cases and reviews the mechanism of injury and problems associated with delayed treatment.
