    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Biomechanical Engineering

    Background:

    • Managing elbow fractures with other long bone injuries is challenging, particularly when early motion is desired.
    • Existing treatments may limit essential joint mobility, hindering recovery.
    • Controlled joint movement is crucial for optimal outcomes in complex upper extremity trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an adapted hinged cast brace for elbow injuries.
    • To evaluate its efficacy in providing controlled flexion and stability.
    • To assess functional outcomes and patient acceptance in managing upper extremity fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • An adaptation of a lower extremity hinged cast brace was applied to the elbow.
    • The cast brace was constructed using readily available materials.

  • Application was performed in an outpatient clinic setting.

    • Main Results:

    • The adapted cast brace provided controlled flexion and protected against varus/valgus stress and translation.
    • Excellent functional results were achieved across various upper extremity injuries.
    • Patients demonstrated high acceptance of the elbow cast brace.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted elbow cast brace is an effective solution for complex upper extremity fractures.
    • It facilitates early controlled motion while ensuring joint stability.
    • This innovative approach offers excellent functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.
