Abstract

Dislocations of the elbow joint are among the most prevalent dislocation injuries in the human body after shoulder joint dislocations and represent a challenge in the clinical routine because of the concomitant injuries and complications. They predominantly affect young adults who become injured during athletic or daily activities. A distinction is generally made between a simple elbow dislocation and a dislocation fracture of the elbow; however, a uniform classification or treatment algorithm has not yet been established, especially for simple elbow dislocations with associated ligamentous, muscular and capsular concomitant injuries. Due to this and the complexity of this injury, a standardized approach is needed to initiate the optimal treatment at an early stage and to correctly select the narrow treatment pathway between impending chronic instability and elbow stiffness.
