Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of posttraumatic elbow stiffness.
  • To update current knowledge on etiology, classification, evaluation, and management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of etiology, classification, and treatment strategies.
  • Synthesis of current nonoperative and operative management approaches.
  • Overview of postoperative care.

Main Results:

  • Etiology includes intra-articular and extra-articular causes.
