Abstract Introduction Pure lateral elbow dislocation is rare and a successful closed reduction is even rarer. Reduction can be hindered by swelling soft tissue interposition or associated fractures. Case presentation We present a pure lateral traumatic dislocation of the elbow joint in a 40-year-old man. This was successfully manipulated and reduced in casualty using a modification of the gravity-aided hanging arm technique originally described for shoulder dislocations by Stimson. Conclusion We strongly recommend the use of this simple technique in these rare yet difficult injuries in order to avoid potential complications with general anaesthesia and surgery.
