Acute posterolateral rotatory subluxation of the elbow joint. A case report

The elbow joint has become increasingly recognized as a very important joint for all sports activities. Players in some sports cannot compete at all with an unstable elbow due to ligament injuries. Thus, professional sports players and heavy laborers, as in our case, should find the excellent results of primary ligament repair preferable. This technique is less invasive than secondary ligament reconstruction and can result primarily in an accurate, stable elbow with full range of motion for mobilizing the joint and muscles at an early stage.
