Intraosseous Plate Reduction and Fixation of Complex Proximal Ulnar Fractures: A Report of 2 Cases.

CASE

We describe 2 cases using a novel technique of intraosseous plating of the coronoid as a reduction tool and fixation construct for complex elbow fracture dislocations. Each patient sustained traumatic, complex injuries of the elbow and were radiographically healed at the final follow-up.

CONCLUSION

Elbow fracture dislocations are complex injuries because of the interplay between primary and secondary stabilizers. This technique provides access to fracture fragments with minimal to no soft-tissue disruption and does not obstruct additional reduction or fixation of the injury.
