Chapter 14 discusses elbow trauma. The elbow is a hinge synovial joint that consists of the ulnohumeral, radiocapitellar, and proximal radioulnar joints. The olecranon and radial head fractures are common and may occur secondary to direct trauma or with transmitted forces from an injury such as a fall on an outstretched hand. The elbow is the second most commonly dislocated large joint of the body. Radiographs are the mainstay in the evaluation of acute injuries and treatment follow-up. CT examination is helpful in preoperative assessment of complex fractures/injuries. All elbow dislocations are initially close reduced and splinted. Further conservative versus operative treatment depends on complexity of injury.
