[Treatment principles of chronic recurrent elbow dislocation]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Traumatology

Background:

• Chronic recurrent elbow luxation is an infrequent clinical presentation.
• Understanding the specific pathomorphology of recurrent elbow instability is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe the diagnostic approach and treatment strategies for chronic recurrent elbow luxation.
• To present clinical findings and outcomes from three patient cases.

Main Methods:

• Review of three cases of chronic recurrent elbow luxation.
• Detailed diagnostic evaluation including imaging to determine injury patterns.
• Surgical stabilization techniques tailored to individual injury patterns.

Main Results:

• Specific diagnostic methods identified the unique pathomorphology in each case.
• Surgical stabilization based on injury patterns led to successful outcomes.
• Clinical findings correlated with treatment success.

Conclusions:

• Chronic recurrent elbow luxation requires precise diagnosis to identify underlying pathomorphology.
• Treatment and stabilization must be individualized according to the specific injury pattern.
• Successful management relies on accurate diagnosis and tailored surgical intervention.
