This study describes the surgical technique used for reconstruction and reinforcement of the
lateral collateral ligament complex in patients with posterolateral instability of the elbow and
the results. A triceps tendon graft from the ipsilateral elbow which was inserted through bone
tunnels and fixed with bone anchors augmented the reconstruction. The operation was

This study describes the surgical technique used for reconstruction and reinforcement of the lateral collateral ligament complex in patients with posterolateral instability of the elbow and the results. A triceps tendon graft from the ipsilateral elbow which was inserted through bone tunnels and fixed with bone anchors augmented the reconstruction.
The operation was performed on 18 consecutive patients with instability after an acute traumatic dislocation. The mean follow-up was 44 months (14 to 88). There were no recurrent dislocations. The elbow was stable in 14 patients; three had some minor limitation of movement. Thirteen had no or only occasional slight pain, 15 returned to their normal level of activity and 17 were satisfied with the outcome. There was only one failure.
