Abstract EN
Complex elbow instability is difficult to surgically address.
Careful consideration of the fractures and soft tissue injuries is required.
We present the case of a patient who sustained an open fracture-dislocation of the elbow with significant loss of the external humeral condyle and partial loss of the olecranon.
He was surgically treated with an iliac crest tricortical autograft fixed with a buttress plate and a lag screw.
His lateral ulnar collateral ligament was reconstructed with tendinous autograft collected from his third and fourth extensor digitorum longus tendons.
While the procedure complicated with a Nocardia infection and wound breakdown, the patient almost had full range of motion without instability at 11 months of follow-up.
