Abstract:
Currently clinical scoring systems are the most popular functional measurements for orthopedic patients.However,unfortunately,the scoring systems so far for the elbow are not capable enough of fully assessing the joint motion capacities,symptoms and quality of life for the patients with elbow dysfunction.In this paper,we review the elbow scoring systems most commonly used for the patients with elbow dysfunction,analyze their insufficiency in evaluation of elbow dysfunction,and discuss how to develop a new scoring system specially for elbow dysfunction.
