Abstract
|
|
|
|
Elbow arthrodesis is a predictable salvage surgery for advanced elbow joint disease. However, iatrogenic joint fusion impaired activity of daily living. In the presented case, a young woman suffered from an iatrogenic joint fusion which developed after several surgeries for comminuted intercondylar fracture of distal humerus. We tried to reconstruct the ulnohumeral joint, as she was too young to have a total elbow arthroplasty. Finally, she regained the motion of elbow and satisfied with the clinical outcome after two consecutive operations. We described the process of recovery and summarized the pearls and pitfalls.
