Abstract:
The elbow is more susceptible to motion loss than other joints after trauma,and elbow stiffness leads to functional impairment in the upper limb and interferes with daily activities.Open arthrolysis is the most common and classical treatment for post-traumatic elbow stiffness.In this paper,we review the treatment protocols like preoperative clinical evaluation,arthrolysis strategies and postoperative rehabilitation program for post-traumatic elbow stiffness,discuss relevant issues and assess their prospects.
