The elbow joint is one of the most inherently stable articulations of the skeleton1'547577.
When a dislocation is not associated with a fracture, early mobilization after closed reduction …

The elbow is a complex, highly constrained joint that provides critical range of motion to the
upper extremity needed for performing the normal activities of daily living. The elbow is …

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the radial head and the
coronoid process as posterolateral rotatory stabilizers of the elbow and to determine the …

Background: The lateral ulnar collateral ligament, the entire lateral collateral ligament
complex, and the overlying extensor muscles have all been suggested as key stabilizers …

We describe the intermediate results of lateral ligamentous repair or reconstruction for
posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow. Between 1986 and 1999, we performed 12 …

We sought to determine the lateral soft-tissue injury pattern in a consecutive series of
patients with elbow dislocation (10 cases) or fracture-dislocation (52 cases) that required …

Contracture of the elbow is a common complication of fractures, dislocations, burns, etc.,
around the elbow. The stiff or contracted elbow is defined as an elbow with a reduction in …

Elbow stability is afforded by both static and dynamic structures. Static structures include the
complex bony architecture and soft-tissue stabilizers. Knowledge of the anatomy and …

The recent explosion of interest in the elbow and the need for better surgical approaches,
has produced numerous new approaches and the modification of other approaches, the …

HYPOTHESIS: Lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) reconstruction is a commonly used
surgical approach for the treatment of posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI). We …
