1.New Injury Mechanism and Treatment Algorithm of Posterior Elbow Dislocation
Journal of the Korean Fracture Society 2019;32(1):61-71
Although the concept of a single elbow dislocation mechanism, in which all dislocations start from the lateral side of the elbow joint and progress to the medial side, has never been able to explain the various conflicting experimental and clinical observations thus far, new studies and proposals for a valid mechanism have not been reported. The new proposal for posteromedial and posterolateral dislocation of the elbow joint according to the authors' study and the new treatment algorithm based on this new study can explain the various clinical and experimental results that have been difficult to explain, and provide a reasonable approach to the treatment of elbow dislocations.

5.Biomechanics of the Elbow.
Journal of the Korean Shoulder and Elbow Society 2010;13(1):141-145
PURPOSE: Understanding elbow biomechanics is necessary to understand the pathophysiologic mechanism of elbow injury and to provide a scientific basis for clinical practice. This article provides a summary of key concepts that are relevant to understanding common elbow injuries and their management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The biomechanics of the elbow joint can be divided into kinematics, stability and force transmission through the elbow joint. Active and passive stabilizers include bony articular geometry; soft tissues provide joint stability, compression force and motion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Knowledge of elbow biomechanics will help (i) advance surgical procedures and trauma management, (ii) develop new elbow prostheses and (iii) stimulate future research.

Fractures of the capitellum humeri are rare and the recommendations for treatment vary. It can involve a significant portion of the articular surface, rendering the elbow joint unstable. In this situation, it is desirable to reduce and internally fix the capitellar fragment, because this restores the articular surface and augments joint stability. We experienced two cases of capitellar fractures which one case was spontaneously anatomical reduced and the other case was treated by open reduction. In one case the capitellar fragment was spontaneous reduced to a stable position although it was noticed radiographically as an unstable displaced fracture preoperatively. The other case was treated by open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5mm, small, AO, cannulated screw and K-wire. Both cases are reported here with references.

PURPOSE: We wanted to assess the radiological and clinical results and the prognostic factors after an operation for capitellar fractures associated with/without other injury around the elbow. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among the 25 patients (mean age: 49 years-old) who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for capitellar fractures, there were nineteen type 1 fractures and six type 3 fractures. The mean follow up period was 14.8 months. We assessed the factors affecting the radiological and functional results, such as the fracture pattern, the patient age and the surgical approaches. RESULTS: In 24 of 25 patients, bony union was achieved at postoperative 1 year. There were eighteen excellent, four good, two fair and one poor functional results according to the Broberg and Morrey elbow score. The most common type was type 1 and the most common associated injury was lateral condylar fracture. The patients with type 1 fracture rather than the patients with type 3 fracture and the patients who had an extraarticular associated fracture rather than an intraarticular associated fracture had better clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION: 22 (88%) of the patients were satisfied at the result. The type of capitellar fracture and an associated intraarticular elbow fracture were shown to be important prognostic factors in this study.

The elbow joint is one of the most inherently stable articulations of the skeleton. Recurrent posterior dislocation of the elbow is a rare condition. We experienced a case of recurrent posterior dislocation of the elbow due to shallow trochlear notch and chronic radial head dislocation that was treated by transplantation of the biceps tendon to the coronoid process. We report on the case with a literature review.

Isolated fracture of the distal humeral trochlea occurs while the axial load delivered to the elbow passes through the trochlear of the distal humerus. It has been rarely reported, because of those reasons. The trochlea is located deep inside of the elbow joint space and since it does not have the direct attachment with muscles or ligaments, a force is hardly transmitted directly. Also ulno-humeral joint is less influenced by compressive or shear force than radio-humeral joint. We report a case of isolated trochlear fracture with review of the literature.
