The authors report a rare case of bilateral elbow dislocation with associated radial head fractures in a 33 year male who presented to our hospital following a road traffic accident. The elbow dislocations were reduced in the emergency room, the left radial head fracture was treated conservatively in an above elbow slab for four weeks and the right radial head and neck fracture was treated operatively with Herbert screw fixation for the radial head fracture and buttress plating for the radial neck fracture. At six months follow-up, the patient was pain free and had functional range of flexion and extension of both elbows with pronation and supination of the right elbow up to 50° and 40° and that of the left elbow up to 60° and 45° respectively.
