An open surgical reduction of elbow dislocations.
Open Elbow Reduction
An open elbow reduction is usually reserved for an elbow dislocation that may be complicated by concomitant fractures or unstable reduction. Extensive soft tissue and ligamentous injury may also need to be addressed during surgery as well as any bony loose bodies or fractures. Generally, motion will begin within a few days after surgery with a therapist and a specific protocol to avoid stiffness.
