Evaluation of functional outcome after nonsurgical management of terrible triad injuries of the elbow

Functional Outcomes of Unstable Traumatic Elbow Injuries: How and When to Fix Them

“…Algorithms for unstable elbow injuries were created to simplify the flow of operative decision making.We followed it for all the patients included in the study and achieved good results according to the MEPS. Compared with other similar studies, the strength of this paper is that there were no poor results amongst our cohorts [19][20][21][22].…”

“…No single surgical technique -to our knowledge-has been determined more superior than others [19].Planning to manage these types of injuries have to take into consideration tailored indications and patient needs [19]. Though one fact remains clear, that any non-surgical intervention will result in assertive disabilities to the joint [20][21][22]. The purpose of this current study was to examine the functional outcomes of unstable elbow injuries and their complications with surgical management and early rehabilitation.…”

Dislocations of the elbow – An instructional review

“…The failure to recognise subtle instability may lead to persistent pain, stiffness and posttraumatic arthritis 53 . Undisplaced or minimally displaced (<5mm) fractures of the anteromedial facet (AMF) of the coronoid can be treated nonoperatively, provided the joint is concentric and stable to at least 30 degrees of extension 51 .…”

A traumatic elbow injury

“…Reduction and immobilisation in the emergency department can be performed, and all cases should be referred to orthopaedics, ideally those specialised in upper limb or elbow injuries, in order to ensure optimal outcomes 234567…”
