Anatomy
A thorough understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical particularities of the elbow is required to provide an optimal management of pathologies. The forearm joint is highly effective and based on the com...

Diaphysärer und distaler Unterschenkel, Sprunggelenk und Fuß
Anatomie und Funktion der unteren Extremität im Ganzen und des Fußes im Speziellen sind eng mit der bipedalen Fortbewegung verknüpft und resultieren in einer komplexen biomechanischen Interaktion der verschied...

Chapter
Coronoid Fractures
The coronoid process stabilizes the elbow against axial, varus, and valgus forces. Injuries to the coronoid process typically occur during dislocations in combination with radial head injuries, isolated injuri...

Chapter
Arthroscopic Evaluation of Elbow Instability: An Alternative Technique
The stability of the elbow joint depends on the bony, ligamentous, and musculoskeletal structures of the elbow. Arthroscopic instability tests are an add-on to patient’s history, clinical examination, and stan...

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) for Capitellum Fractures
The capitellar fracture of the humerus is a relatively uncommon injury but can result in significant functional impairment if not appropriately treated. Capitellar fractures are often more complex than expecte...

Chapter
Intra-articular Supracondylar Humerus Fractures
Fractures of the distal humerus are challenging, and reconstruction of those fractures should be performed in centers with upper extremity surgery. This chapter covers the treatment of AO type B3 and type C fr...

Chapter
Radial Head Fractures
The radial head is an important secondary stabilizer of the elbow. The Mason classification is commonly used for the characterization and planning of fracture treatment. The incidence of associated ligament in...

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) for Olecranon Fractures
Olecranon fractures are a common injury of the elbow joint with and can occur as isolated fracture or in combination with other injuries, for example, in fracture dislocations like Monteggia-like lesions.

Olecranon Fractures
Olecranon fractures make up a significant amount of upper extremity fractures (10%). They usually occur from a fall on the elbow with direct impaction. The majority of these are simple fractures (80%) with not...

Trizepssehnenruptur
Der M. triceps brachii stellt den relevanten Streckapparat des Ellenbogens dar. Als zweigelenkiger Muskel spielt er ebenso eine Rolle bei der Extension im Schultergelenk. Damit ist der Trizeps essenziell für d...

Akutes Trauma – distale Humerusfraktur – Hemiprothese
Der prothetische Gelenkersatz des Ellenbogengelenks bei nichtrekonstruierbaren Frakturen des distalen Humerus stellt allen voran bei geriatrischen Patienten eine sinnvolle Therapieoption dar. Insbesondere bei ...

Chapter
Arthroskopisch-gestützte Frakturversorgung – Radiuskopf, Proc. coronoideus, Capitulum humeri
Frakturen des Radiuskopfes mit zwei Fragmenten, transverse Koronoidfrakturen sowie koronare Abscherfrakturen des distalen Humerus/Capitulum humeri ohne Trümmerzone eignen sich potentiell für eine arthroskopisc...

Chapter
Arthroscopic Anatomy of the Elbow Joint
Elbow anatomy is complex and can be challenging when treating degenerative and traumatic conditions. Not only the bony configuration of the distal humerus, the proximal radius, and the proximal ulna must be re...

Chapter
Complication Management in Distal Humerus Hemiarthroplasty
Distal humerus hemiarthroplasty (DHH) was designed to overcome the disadvantages of ORIF and TEA. ORIF may lead to early loss of reduction in severely comminuted and/or osteoporotic fractures. TEA may lead to ...

Chapter
Assessment of Instability on MRI
Diagnosis and treatment of elbow instability remain a topic of hot debate. In conjunction with clinical findings, magnetic resonance imaging can be a helpful adjunct to establish the diagnosis of elbow instabi...

Chapter
Proximal Ulna Fractures
Fractures of the olecranon are common in adults and can be complex lesions. Triceps pull is acting as a dislocating force. The soft tissue envelope at the back of the proximal ulna is only tenuous. In fracture...

New Insights in Diagnosis and Treatment of Distal Biceps Pathology
Biceps brachii is composed of two separate heads and is innervated by a branch of the musculocutaneous nerve [1]. The proximal tendon of the long head is attached to the supraglenoid tubercle, and the proximal...
