  • Title: Complex Elbow Instability: Radial Head and Coronoid.
    Author: Kovacevic D, Vogel LA, Levine WN.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 2015 Nov; 31(4):547-56. PubMed ID: 26498544.
    Abstract:
    A standardized and systematic approach for the management of an acute complex elbow dislocation involving the radial head and coronoid will maximize clinical outcomes. The cornerstones of surgical management include primary restoration of the ulnohumeral joint by reduction of the intact joint or coronoid fracture fixation, followed by radial head fixation or replacement. The lateral ulnar collateral ligament complex is then repaired before assessing elbow stability within a functional sagittal arc of motion.
