Recurrent dislocation of the elbow

GC Hassmann, F Brunn and CS Neer

Recurrent dislocation of the elbow resulted from laxity of the lateral capsule and collateral ligament in four patients. An intra-articular lesion was usually also present. Elbow arthrotomy for removal of loose bodies and repair of the lateral capsuloligamentous structures are thought to offer an excellent prognosis for satisfactory relief from symptoms of recurrent dislocation. More complicated techniques, such as bone blocks or tendon transfers, are believed to be less effective and unnecessary.
