“…Acute repair is indicated if the elbow spontaneously dislocates before 30 of extension, when the elbow is moved from flexion to extension. 27 Other indications may depend on the profession, sports or hobbies of the patient.…”

Postoperative rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the treatment of elbow pathology. Depending on the type of surgery, the elbow may need to be protected. As a general rule, the elbow should not be immobilized for a prolonged period after surgery. A removable splint can be used to protect the softtissues immediately postoperative and the patient is encouraged to remove the splint several times daily to mobilize the elbow. Dynamic articulated braces can be used to encourage movement while ligament or tendon repairs are being protected. Literature on postoperative elbow rehab is scarce. In this paper we provide practical guidelines for specific surgical procedures.

“…Additional tools for diagnosing elbow instability are ultrasound examination 13 14 and arthroscopy. [15][16][17] The former is operator dependent and requires training and experience, while the latter should be performed only in cases where a subsequent surgical treatment is indicated. For this reason, the choice and the evaluation of the diagnostic techniques should be considered in the light of the history and examination and resources available.…”

“…It is passed through the centre of rotation of the distal humerus. For the ulna, the tendon passes through the sublime tubercle medially, and through the supinator crest laterally, creating a circumferential tendon graft (figures [16][17]. Interference screws have been proposed at each corner of the graft to prevent graft slippage (figure 18).…”
