چکیده

Radio-ulnar Fracture dislocation of the elbow is a high-energy trauma which can be associated with significant ligamentous injury in adults. We report an unusual triad of injury in a patient with avulsion injury of the triceps. This injury can be thought of as a variant of "terrible triad" with dislocation of radio-ulnar joint, radial head fracture, and medial collateral ligament injury with avulsion of the triceps. Elbow has to be stabilized with early repair of the ligaments for a successful outcome.

We describe a new intra articular reconstruction that utilises a slip of triceps tendon to provide immediate stability to the elbow. METHODS We assessed 20 cadaveric elbows, measuring the length of tr...
