Overview

Case series demonstrates positive postoperative outcomes with joint stabilization techniques in elbow instability.

Key Points

  • To evaluate techniques for lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction with an internal joint stabilizer for elbow instability.
  • Described two surgical techniques for LUCL reconstruction using IJS in two patients.
  • Assessed complication-free survival at over 2 and 3 years postoperatively.
  • Examined optimal graft placement and its proximity to isometric points on the distal humerus.
  • Both patients experienced complication-free survival more than 2 and 3 years after surgery.
  • Reconstruction supplemented with IJS maintained concentric reduction throughout the arc of motion.
  • There is no consensus on optimal graft location when using an IJS central pin.
