Abstract |
Recurrent dislocation of elbow joint occurs relatively rarely by the injury of the collateral ligament which contributes elbow joint stability. Among them, posterolateral rotatory instability occurs by the injury to the lateral ulnar collateral ligament. We experienced a case of recurrent dislocation of elbow joint due to posterolateral rotatory instability. We treated operatively with lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction using the palmaris longus tendon by technique of Nestor et al. We report it with literature analysis. |
