We report an exceptionally rare and complex case of quadruple bilateral fracture dislocation of the elbow and the wrist in a 39-year-old construction worker, who sustained the injury after falling from a scaffold of 9 m secondary to a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. The patient was treated with a combination of closed and open reduction, internal fixation, and radial head arthroplasty, and had a good functional outcome at 12 months follow-up, with no complications or instability. This case illustrates the challenges and the possibilities of managing such complex injuries, and adds to the scarce literature on this topic.
