Treatment of traumatic elbow instability with an internal joint stabilizer
The Journal of Hand Surgery Jul 13, 2018
Sochol KM, et al. - Authors evaluated the recently developed internal joint stabilizer (IJS), which acts as an internal external fixator of the elbow. Early, congruent, and stable ulnohumeral and radiocapitellar range of motion in instances of persistent elbow instability were allowed with the use of an IJS. A staged arthroscopic contracture release was offered to the patients with a flexion-extension arc of 70° or less at 12 weeks. At most recent follow-up, the average postoperative flexion-extension arc was 124.3° ± 14.9°, with a median follow-up of 17 months (8 weeks–25 months).
