Abstract |
Elbow dislocations are frequent and present with a broad spectrum of subsequent ligamentous and soft tissue injuries. Beside clinical examination, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can specify the extent of the injuries and provide a foundation for decision-making between conservative and operative treatment. This article highlights the basic underlying biomechanics and anatomy, discusses the trauma mechanisms and presents clinical and imaging diagnostic procedures. Treatment algorithms for conservative and surgical treatment are presented in detail. In addition to acute instability, chronic instability of the elbow has recently been recognized as the cause of a large variety of symptoms, often resulting in significant functional impairment. The most commonly used techniques for reconstruction of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments and the rehabilitation protocols are described in detail. |
