May 19th, 2020 - Background: The decision between radial head arthroplasty and open reduction internal fixation in the context of a terrible triad elbow fracture-dislocation is debated. This study investigated both surgeon and patient factors associated with surge...

Mar 16th, 2020 - The role of bipolar radial head prostheses (RHP) in elbow fracture-dislocation is controversial, with some reports of poorer stabilization than with monopolar designs. The aim of the present study was to compare mono- versus bi-polar RHPs in elbow...

Jan 24th, 2020 - The lateral humeral condyle fractures in children accounts for one fifth of all elbow fractures. These fractures have a propensity to displace because of the pull of the extensor muscles on the condyle. The aim of this study was to examine the epi...

Nov 30th, 2019 - Post-traumatic elbow contracture remains a common and challenging complication with often unsatisfactory outcomes. Although the etiology is unknown, elevated or abnormal post-fracture synovial fluid cytokine levels may result in the migration of f...

Nov 29th, 2019 - A Monteggia fracture is defined as a fracture of the proximal ulna combined with a luxation of the radial head. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the extent of instability of the radius head in the proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ) as a fu...

Feb 27th, 2014 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Complicated elbow fractures could be added to a growing list of heightened health risks for obese children, according to a recent analysis. Obese kids were nine times more likely to suffer an elbow fracture with multipl...

May 28th, 2002 - MEDLINE Abstracts: Fractures of the Elbow: Complications of Treatment What complications are associated with the treatment of elbow fracture? Find out in this easy-to-navigate collection of recent MEDLINE abstracts compiled by the editors at Medsc...

Abstract Pediatric elbow fractures make up approximately 65% of all fractures and dislocations in children. Supracondylar fractures constitute the most common pediatric elbow fracture. Complications of supracondylar fractures include neurovascular...
