Complex elbow instability: surgical management of elbow fracture dislocations

[摘要] Traumatic elbow injuries commonly result in damage to several of the elbow structures involved in joint stability. Persistent elbow instability after injury often results in pain, poor function and progressive joint degeneration. To prevent persistent instability after these injuries, the surgeon must decide which structures require surgical repair or reconstruction and how to best deal with each of these.
