Chapter
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...

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...

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.

Chapter
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...

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...

Modified anteromedial and anterolateral elbow arthroscopy portals show superiority to standard portals in guiding arthroscopic radial head screw fixation
Arthroscopic fixation of radial head radial head fractures is an appealing alternative to open reduction and internal fixation, which presents the advantage of minimal surgical trauma. The aim of this study wa...

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...

Radial shortening osteotomy reduces radiocapitellar contact pressures while preserving valgus stability of the elbow
Shortening osteotomy of the proximal radius might represent a potential salvage procedure in symptomatic radiocapitellar osteoarthritis, which could decrease radiocapitellar load while preserving the native ra...

Reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow: a comparative biomechanical study
Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow is the result of an insufficient lateral collateral ligament complex (LCLC). Single-bundle reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL...

Anatomic relations between the lateral collateral ligament and the radial head: implications for arthroscopic resection of the synovial fold of the elbow
The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic relationship between the radial head and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and when the LCL would be at risk of iatrogenic injury during arthroscopi...
