7 Biomechanics of the coronoid in complex elbow fracture-dislocations

Reconstruction for persistent instability of the elbow after coronoid fracture-dislocation

“…16,38,43,54 That the radial head is an important secondary constraint resisting valgus and posterolateral rotatory instability has also been clearly documented. 12,39 Given that the radial head has been shown to be a secondary restraint for elbow stability, 29,39 this structure clearly plays a more significant role after fracturedislocation of the elbow than previously supposed. Radial head replacement was not used in this series.…”

Functional Outcome of a Coronal Shear Fracture of the Capitellum Managed by Herbert Screw Fixation Using the Anterolateral Surgical Approach

“…In the present scenario, open reduction and internal fixation, which provides a stable congruent joint, is the most preferred treatment strategy. However, because of the complexity of these intra-articular fractures, surgical exposure and fracture fixation are difficult [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…In a coronal shear capitellar fractures, the lateral approach is commonly used for exposure of the elbow [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. But with the lateral approach, the exposure of the medial articular extension and trochlea is inadequate.…”
