A 40-year-old man sustained a traumatic elbow disarticulation without any fracture, accompanied by severe damage of the biceps and brachialis. After replantation, passive elbow motion was used with a hinged external fixator to facilitate elbow joint reduction and mobility. Eight months after the injury, a functional latissimus dorsi transfer for elbow flexion restoration was performed. Ten years postoperatively, he achieved antigravity elbow flexion and 120° of flexion and -15° extension of the elbow.
This reconstruction technique was useful for reconstructing elbow flexion after traumatic elbow disarticulation.
一位 40 岁男性遭受外伤性肘离断,无骨折,但肱二头肌和肱肌严重受损。再植后,使用铰链式外固定器进行被动肘部运动,以促进肘关节复位和活动。受伤后 8 个月,进行了功能性背阔肌转移以恢复肘部弯曲功能。术后 10 年,他实现了对抗重力的肘部弯曲,肘部弯曲度为 120°,伸展度为-15°。
这种重建技术对于外伤性肘离断后重建肘部弯曲功能是有用的。
