Linked elbow replacement: a salvage procedure for distal humeral nonunion. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Nonunion is a challenging and not uncommon complication of distal humeral fractures. Our long-term experience with linked semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty as a salvage procedure for patients with distal humeral nonunion not ... Read more...

Traumatic valgus instability of the elbow: pathoanatomy and results of direct repair. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 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 ... Read more...

Clinical evaluation of locking compression plate fixation for comminuted olecranon fractures.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: In patients managed with plate fixation for the treatment of an olecranon fracture, the placement of an axial intramedullary screw may obstruct the placement of bicortical screws in the ulnar shaft. To overcome this problem, unicortical ... Read more...
