As a pivotal part of the elbow joint structure, the coronoid process of the ulna plays a vital role in maintaining elbow joint stability. Loss of coronoid process height causes instability of the elbow joint depending on the fracture characteristics and size. The diagnosis and treatment of coronoid process fractures has gained widespread attention from orthopedic surgeons. Nevertheless, few reports have described reconstruction of coronoid process fractures and defects that affect elbow joint stability. Treatment of elbow joint instability induced by coronoid process defects is challenging because most cases are complicated by other elbow joint injuries. Moreover, the clinical efficacy remains unclear. The present narrative review was performed to examine the research progress on reconstruction of the coronoid process. The findings of this review provide evidence for clinical repair and reconstruction of coronoid process defects and contribute to the published literature on this topic.
作为肘关节结构的关键部分，尺骨冠突在维持肘关节稳定性方面起着至关重要的作用。尺骨冠突高度的丧失会根据骨折的特征和大小导致肘关节不稳定。尺骨冠突骨折的诊断和治疗已引起骨科医生的广泛关注。然而，很少有报道描述影响肘关节稳定性的尺骨冠突骨折和缺损的重建。由尺骨冠突缺损引起的肘关节不稳定的治疗具有挑战性，因为大多数病例都合并有其他肘关节损伤。此外，临床疗效仍不明确。本叙述性综述旨在探讨尺骨冠突重建的研究进展。本综述的结果为尺骨冠突缺损的临床修复和重建提供了证据，并为该主题的已发表文献做出了贡献。
