Most elbow dislocations are stable after reduction and benefit from early motion. Careful assessment for associated injuries is crucial. Complex cases may need surgery for optimal elbow joint stability and function.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Traumatology
Sports Medicine

Background:

Elbow dislocations are common injuries.
Most are stable after closed reduction and early range of motion.
Associated injuries can complicate management.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the management and outcomes of elbow dislocations.
To highlight potential complications and treatment considerations.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical literature on elbow dislocations.
Analysis of treatment strategies and outcomes.
Discussion of diagnostic criteria and complications.

Main Results:

Early range-of-motion programs yield favorable results for simple dislocations.

Neurovascular and wrist injuries require careful evaluation.

Complex dislocations with fractures often necessitate surgical intervention for stability.

Periarticular fracture size impacts functional outcomes.

Conclusions:

Simple elbow dislocations typically have good prognoses with non-operative management.
Complex dislocations require surgical repair for joint stability.
Potential long-term complications include stiffness, instability, and heterotopic ossification.
