Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Repair for the Acute Elbow Dislocation in Primary Lateral Sclerosis Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Management and outcomesWe performed an arthroscopic lateral collateral ligament repair. At 6 months postoperative, her elbow gained stability and a painless full range of motion. ConclusionPeriarticular muscles are crucial in joint congruity maintenance when the static stabilizers are disrupted. However, in neuromuscular diseases, the dynamic stabilizers are inadequate in providing stability for ligament healing, causing elbow instability. Osteoligamentous stabilizers restoration is the key to joint stability in a paralytic limb. An arthroscopy is a good option restoring collateral ligaments by reducing damage to surrounding muscles.
