Resum

A case of familiar congenital dislocation of the radial head is presented. It used to be an asymptomatic entity, and may lead to misdiagnosis when it is observed after a traumatism. Familiar history and contralateral radiographs are useful in the differentiation from a traumatic dislocation. The standard treatment for asymptomatic congenital radial head dislocations is observation.
