The most common complication of elbow fractures and dislocations is the elbow flexion contracture. The exact pathology of elbow contracture is unclear. Reported reasons for loss of motion include prolonged immobilization, soft tissue trauma, intra-articular trauma, and heterotopic bone formation.

The VA-LCP Elbow Plating System offers three main double-plating configurations for the distal humerus: Perpendicular; perpendicular with lateral support, …

Olecranon Fractures. Olecranon Fractures are common fractures of the elbow that lead to loss of extensor mechanism. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs of the elbow. Treatment may be nonoperative for nondisplaced fractures with an intact extensor mechanism. Surgical management is indicated for displaced …

Background Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is the gold standard management of fractures of the distal humerus. Stable fixation to allow early mobilization is not always possible in cases with comminuted fracture patterns and bone loss, with a high failure rate. We propose augmentation of internal fixation in these unstable …

This problem is caused by the pull rod and pull rod spring of jaw crusher are damaged. At the same time, if the elbow plate has been detached from the support …

Elbow Fracture. This handout explains the follow-up care after surgery to repair your elbow fracture. The surgery was important in order to repair the joint surface and to avoid arthritis. Depending on the type of fracture, you may have a drain in place to remove excess fluid. While the drain is in place, please make sure to take the oral ...

This usually requires surgery to reduce the fracture and some type of fixation to hold the fragments while healing occurs. Because the olecranon makes up part of the elbow joint, the joint surface needs to be repaired as close to normal as possible to reduce the risk of developing osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) of the elbow joint.

Growth plates are sections of cartilage near the ends of bones that are present until a person reaches maturity. They allow the skeleton to grow and lengthen, but are highly susceptible to injury. Growth plate injuries can result from overuse of a …

Capitellum Fractures are traumatic intra-articular elbow injuries involving the distal humerus at the capitellum. Diagnosis is made using plain radiographs of the elbow. Treatment may be nonoperative for nondisplaced fractures but any displacement generally requires anatomic open reduction and internal fixation. Epidemiology.

The Acumed Elbow Plating System offers multiple fixation options for fractures of the distal humerus, olecranon, and coronoid, as well as osteotomies of the olecranon.

Growth plate injuries of the elbow are most common in children and typically occur to those who take part in sports that involve the frequent movement of the elbow. Growth plates sit between the rounded end and middle part of the bone and made of cartilage.

A distal humerus fracture is a break in the lower end of the upper arm bone (humerus), one of the three bones that come together to form the elbow joint. A fracture in this area can be very painful and make elbow …

An elbow fracture is a break in one of the three arm bones that comprise the elbow joint: the humerus, the radius and the ulna.

Elbow fracture dislocations (one or more bones are broken and the joint is out of place) are serious injuries. They often happen after falling onto your outstretched hand. The fracture (s), or broken bones, tend to happen in …

Coronoid Fractures are traumatic elbow fractures that are generally pathognomonic for an episode of elbow instability. Diagnosis can be made using plain radiographs of the elbow. CT studies may be helpful for surgical planning. Treatment may be nonoperative for nondisplaced coronoid tip fractures with a stable elbow.

Care guide for Elbow Fracture. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.

Olecranon Fracture ORIF with Plate Fixation Orthobullets Team

Designed in conjunction with Shawn W. O'Driscoll, MD, PhD, the Elbow Plating System is engineered to address fractures of the distal humerus, olecranon, and coronoid. and …

Elbow fractures and dislocations are common injuries managed in clinics and emergency departments. The presentation, evaluation, and basic management of adults with elbow fractures not involving the radial head and neck are reviewed here. The evaluation and management of other upper extremity injuries in adults and of elbow …

The Elbow Plating System offers precontoured, indication-specific plates and includes a low-profile Olecranon Plate design with anatomic curvature and …

The A.L.P.S. Elbow Plating System is a comprehensive system designed to address fractures around the elbow. The system includes anatomically contoured plates …

Explain the importance of pre-stressing the plate when applying a compression plate to a transverse fracture

The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or the physis, is an area of cartilage at the end of a bone and is where new bone is made. There are two growth plates in the humerus: one near the shoulder, and one by the elbow. In adults, these areas close and bone no longer grows. In children and teenagers, this area remains open.

An olecranon fracture is a break in the "pointy bone" of your elbow that sticks out when you bend your arm, which is actually the end of the ulna. This type of fracture is common and usually occurs in isolation (there are no other injuries) but can also be a part of a more complex elbow injury. An olecranon fracture can occur through a ...

The elbow is a complex joint consisting of ulnohumeral, proximal radioulnar, and radiocapitellar articulation. Trans-olecranon fracture dislocations are defined as fractures in which the stability of the ulnohumeral joint is lost due to intra-articular fracture of the olecranon with no disruption of the proximal radioulnar joint [ 1, 2 ].

The trans-olecranon fracture dislocations have a low frequency of instability and a good prognosis when the trochlear notch is properly restored by rigid plate fixation, contrary to the severity of elbow …

Mnemonics for elbow ossification include CRITOE and CRITOL. These are essentially the same, apart from the terminal letter which represents the External or Lateral epicondyle. Mnemonics CRITOE C: capitellum R: radial head I: internal epicond...

The A.L.P.S. Elbow Plating System features an extensive set of anatomically contoured implants to address a wide array of fractures around the elbow. The anatomic design of each plate is designed to match the natural anatomy of the specified location. However, in-situ contouring is available for fine adjustment for patient modification.

Pediatric elbow injuries are among the most challenging musculoskeletal conditions for emergency physicians. Kids can be a challenge to examine, large cartilaginous areas and various elbow ossification centers make X-rays difficult to interpret, and many missed injuries are both subtle and require operative management.1.
