| Description | Restriction of joint motion is a frequent complication in the treatment of elbow injury. Grade 4 elbow stiffness up to its ankylosis is a strong limiting factor in the patients daily activities. The surgical release of a stiff elbow has been a rare procedure. It can be done using either isolated or combined approaches. The aim of the study is to present our experience with and the results of elbow arthrolysis using a posterior extensile approach to the joint. |
