Considerable Variation in Current Coronoid Height and Fracture Measurement Techniques: A Systematic Review

Coronoid fractures usually occur in the presence of a significant osseo-ligamentous injury to the elbow. Fracture size and location correlate with degree of instability and many authors have attempted to analyze the effect of fracture variation on decision making and outcome. There remains no standardized technique for measuring coronoid height or fracture size. The aim of this study was to appraise the literature regarding techniques for coronoid height measurement in order to understand variation.
