Traumatic elbow instability.
Trauma can render the elbow unstable via a combination of bone and ligament injuries. Some of these injuries feature subluxation rather than dislocation of the elbow. Effective treatment centers on restoring enough of the bony and ligamentous structures to keep the elbow in joint so that recovery can proceed as for a simple elbow dislocation. Recognition of distinct patterns of injury can help ...
متن کاملComplex elbow instability.
Complex elbow instability consists of dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint with a concomitant fracture of one or several of the bony stabilizers of the elbow, including the radial head, proximal ulna, coronoid process, or distal humerus. Recurrent instability is not often associated with simple dislocation, but an improperly managed complex dislocation may be a prelude to chronic, recurrent elb...
متن کاملTraumatic valgus instability of the elbow: pathoanatomy and results of direct repair.
BACKGROUND The medial collateral ligament provides valgus stability to the elbow. The purpose of the present study was to describe the pathoanatomy of acute traumatic medial collateral ligament ruptures and to report the rationale and results of direct repair. METHODS Between 1996 and 2006, eleven athletes presented with acute rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow and no hist...
متن کاملTherapy for elbow instability injuries
Elbow instability often results in chronic overuse injuries, especially with overhead throwing in athletes. Initial management of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries often is conservative, but surgery may be required. In several studies, nearly half of throwing athletes with MCL injuries who were treated conservatively were able to return to their previous level of competition. Surgical t...
متن کاملChapter 27 Elbow Instability and Reconstruction
Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis of the elbow joint can occur primarily or secondary to trauma. Primary osteoarthritis usually occurs in middle-aged men who often have performed manual labor. In the early stages, nonsurgical management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, activity modification, and corticosteroid injections can be helpful. Arthroscopic débridement and synovectomy, and débrid...
