Abstract:
Coronoid fractures commonly occur in a part of unstable elbow fractures. Stable coronoid fracture fixation is important for early elbow motion. It may be difficult to fix multifragmented coronoid process fractures with loose capsular attachment. Thus, we demonstrated the endobutton suspensory technique to fix the anterior coronoidal fragments due to its suspensory effect providing capsular attachment. This technique allows stable fixation to the small multifragmented coronoid fractures with early range of motion.
