Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronically unreduced elbow dislocation has commonly been described in underdeveloped countries. This is a very rare type of injury, and only two cases have been reported in Korea. Due to the potentially conflicting goals of restoring elbow stability and satisfactory function, successful treatment is a challenge even for experienced trauma surgeons. Herein, we described two cases of chronically unreduced elbow dislocation treated with open reduction and additional bony fixation using hinged external fixator and transarticular pin fixation.
