Background After a complex dislocation, some elbows remain unstable after closed reduction or fracture treatment. Function after treatment with a hinged external fixator theoretically allows collateral ligaments to heal without surgical reconstruction. However, there is a lack of prospective studies that assess functional outcome, pain, and ROM. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) In complex elbow fracture-dislocations, does treatment with a hinged external fixator result in reduction of disability and pain, and in improvement in ROM, function, and quality of life? (2) Does delayed treatment (7 days or later) have a negative effect on ROM after 1 year? (3) What are the complications seen after external fixator treatment?Methods During a 2-year period, 11 centers recruited 27 patients 18 years or older who were included and evaluated at 2 and 6 weeks and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery as part of this prospective case series. During the study period, the participating centers agreed on general indications for use of the hinged external fixator, which included persistent instability after closed reduction alone or closed reduction combined with surgical treatment of associated fracture(s), when indicated. Functional outcome was evaluated using the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH; primary outcome) score, the Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI), the Oxford Elbow Score, and the level of pain (VAS). ROM, adverse events, secondary interventions, and radiographs also were evaluated. A total of 26 of the 27 patients (96%) were available for followup at 1 year.The institution of one or more of the authors (GITI, DDH, EMMVL, PP, MHJV) has received, during the study period, funding from the Osteosynthesis and Trauma Care ( Results All functional and pain scores improved. The median QuickDASH score decreased from 30 (25 th -75 th percentiles [P 25 -P 75 ], 23-40) at 6 weeks to 7 (P 25 -P 75 , 2-12) at 1 year with a median difference of À25 (p \ 0.001). The median MEPI score increased from 80 (P 25 -P 75 , 64-85) at 6 weeks to 100 (P 25 -P 75 , 85-100) at 1 year with a median difference of 15 (p \ 0.001). The median Oxford Elbow Score increased from 60 (P 25 -P 75 , 44-68) at 6 weeks to 90 (P 25 -P 75 , 73-96) at 1 year with a median difference of 29 (p \ 0.001). The median VAS decreased from 2.8 (P 25 -P 75 , 1.0-5.0) at 2 weeks to 0.5 (P 25 -P 75 , 0.0-1.9) at 1 year with a median difference of À2.1 (p = 0.001). ROM also improved. The median flexionextension arc improved from 50°(P 25 -P 75 , 33°-80°) at 2 weeks to 118°(P 25 -P 75 , 105°-138°) at 1 year with a median difference of 63°(p \ 0.001). Similarly, the median pronation-supination arc improved from 90°(P 25 -P 75 , 63°-124°) to 160°(P 25 -P 75 , 138°-170°) with a median difference of 75°(p \ 0.001). At 1 year, the median residual deficit compared with the uninjured side was 30°( P 25 -P 75 , 5°-35°) for the flexion-extension arc, and 3°( P 25 -P 75 , 0°-25°) for the pronation-supination arc. Ten patients (37%) experienced a fixa...

“…Due to the dislocation, all radial head fractures were Type IV according to the MasonJohnston classification [10]; otherwise, there were zero Type I, 23 of 39 (59%) Type II, and 16 of 39 (41%) Type III [14]. Nearly all of the coronoid fractures (36 of 39) were classified as Regan-Morrey Type II (a single or comminuted fragment that involves more that just the tip but \ 50% of the coronoid height) [20].…”

“…Several recent studies [4,5,19,24] that applied algorithmic approaches to managing each individual injury in the triad have demonstrated more promising results than historical studies [11,20,21] that previously documented high rates of persistent pain, posttraumatic arthrosis, contractures, instability, and functional limitations after treatment. These surgical protocols recommend various fixation techniques for each of the three critical aspects of terrible triad pathoanatomy.…”

Background Surgical treatment for terrible triad injuries of the elbow (defined as elbow dislocations with concomitant fractures of the radial head and coronoid) remains a challenging clinical problem. Specifically, the question of whether to repair or replace the radial head remains controversial. Questions/purposes We compared patients with terrible triad injuries of the elbow whose radial head fracture was treated with either internal fixation and internal fixation (ORIF) or radial head arthroplasty in terms of (1) clinical outcome measures (DASH and Broberg-Morrey scores, ROM), (2) elbow stability and radiographic signs of arthrosis, and (3) complications and reoperation rates. Methods Retrospective review identified 39 patients with terrible triad injuries and minimum 18-month complete clinical and radiographic followup (mean, 24 months; range, 18-53 months). Patients were managed with a standard algorithm consisting of (1) repair (n = 9) or replacement (n = 30) of the radial head, (2) repair of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament, and (3) repair of the coronoid fracture. During the study period, the radial head generally was internally fixed when there were fewer than four articular fragments; otherwise, it was replaced. Evaluation included the DASH score, the Broberg-Morrey index, measurements of elbow stability and motion, and radiographic assessment for signs of arthrosis; chart review was performed for complications and reoperations. Complete followup was available on 87% (39 of 45 patients).

“…Unter dem Begriff "Monteggia like lesion" werden diejenigen Verletzungen subsumiert, die zusätzliche Läsionen aufweisen. Der Einfachheit halber können die Frakturen des Radiuskopfes nach Mason [7] und die des Koronoids nach Regan u. Morrey [10] klassifiziert werden. Die Einteilung der Monteggia-Verletzung nach Bado [1] und Jupiter [5] ist für den klinischen Alltag eher nicht geeignet.…”
