Abstract
Sequelae of elbow trauma are complicated to manage. Undiagnosed instability patterns are important to recognize to get the elbow into concentric alignment for further reconstructive efforts. Stiffness is also common after elbow trauma. Surgeons should be familiar with the different approaches to the elbow to safely address stiffness. Non-arthroplasty and arthroplasty salvage options are also important to understand because the indications are expanding and outcomes for these procedures are being better understood.
