Mid-term functional outcome assessment of early surgical intervention in complex elbow fracture dislocation in adults

Aim: The aim of the present study was to mid-term functional outcome assessment early surgical intervention in complex elbow fracture dislocation adults.Methods: conducted Department Orthopaedics, trauma centre, Institute Medical Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, after getting clearance from ethics committee. Patients with a injury (instability or associated fracture), age 18 years 60 years, who were treated surgically between May 2016 and 2021, agreed participate signed free informed consent minimum follow-up 6 months.Results: 34 cases made up group. There 23 male 11 female patients, aged followed for an average 38.56 months (range 5 years) clinically radiologically, retro prospectively, prospectively evaluated. dominant side involved 24 patients non-dominant other 10 patients. According Mason's classification, 44.1% type 3 by 2 (32.4%) 1 (14.7%). Regan- Moore's 23.5% 3. Mean flexion-extension arc mean supination-pronation excised 115.63 degrees 101.25 radical group 132.75 121.2 coronoid 26-35 116.5 97.5 120.42 107.92 no malunion, infection, ulnar neuropathy neural deficit observed. Mild pain 47.1% cases.Conclusion: Although our number duration are less than many studies, we have achieved comparable results view both subjective objective parameters such as flexion-extension, supination-pronation, Q-DASH score, MEPI score.
