“…6 The decision to perform surgery obviously also depends on the patient and surgery may be indicated sooner in manual labourers or high performance athletes. 7,8 The decision to immobilize the elbow is multifactorial. It has been shown that immediate mobilization of the elbow does not increase the risk of recurrent instability [9][10][11][12] and may lead to improved functional results.…”

Simple elbow dislocations are usually treated conservatively. Radiographs are negative in simple dislocations. Results are generally good, although a small percentage of patients may develop chronic instability. Ligamentous repair can be indicated in high demand patients or if the elbow remains unstable following a closed reduction. Chronic instability is classified per their direction. Surgery is often indicated in the chronically unstable elbow.
