Introduction: Complicated elbow injuries (elbow injuries with bone and soft tissue injury) with distal biceps tendon ruptures (DBTRs) are not uncommon. There are several treatment modalities in different situations of injuries. In this article, we reported 3 successful individual treatments of delayed DBTR with complicated elbow injuries.
Materials And Methods: Three cases of complicated elbow injuries treated between 2010 and 2016 were reviewed. The delayed DBTR cases were summarized and treated. Mayo Elbow Performance Score value, range of motion, and visual analog scale score were used to assess outcomes after a minimum follow-up of 12 months.
Results: All 3 patients were male, aged 47 to 54 years (mean, 49.6 years). Patients received surgical treatments. After a mean follow-up of 13.7 months, in cases 1 and 2, Mayo Elbow Performance Score values improved by 50% and 100%, elbow flexion-extension arc were 115 degrees and 110 degrees, pronation-supination arc were 130 degrees and 120 degrees. Arthrodesis case reported pain relief; visual analog scale score for pain was 0 to 1. No postoperative complications were observed, and all patients were satisfied with the results.
Conclusions: Individual treatment is advised in DBTR with complicated elbow injuries. Secondary treatment of DBTR can achieve satisfactory results using individual strategies depending on patients' overall condition.

Early Clinical Outcomes of Polyaxial Locking Cap Plate Fixation for Fixation of Displaced Olecranon Fractures.
Arch Bone Jt Surg
January 2025
Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery, Shoulder & Elbow Division, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a polyaxial locking plate utilizing locking-cap fixation for treatment of patients with displaced olecranon fractures.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all consecutive patients at two institutions with displaced olecranon fractures treated with a polyaxial locking plate. Patients were required to have at least 1-year follow up.
Efficacy and Complications of External Fixator-Assisted Correction in Cubitus Varus Deformity.
Indian J Orthop
February 2025
Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India.
Background: Untreated cubitus varus results in cosmetic deformity as well as posterolateral rotatory instability at the elbow if longstanding. French osteotomy with its modifications is the most commonly done osteotomy and relies on a medial intact hinge and these osteotomies fail to address the lateral prominence. Intraoperative fixator assistance to adjust the translation and fine tune the osteotomy is a novel method to address the lateral prominence.

Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.
Intra-articular Median Nerve Entrapment of the Elbow After Medial Epicondyle Fracture: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of General and Trauma Surgery, BG University Hospital Bergmannsheil, Bochum, Germany.
Case: We describe a 13-year-old adolescent girl experiencing persistent pain and reduced grip strength following nonoperative treatment of a medial epicondyle fracture-dislocation with closed reduction over 5 years before her referral to our clinic. Neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging of the elbow revealed damage to the median nerve due to an entrapment within the elbow. Surgical release of the nerve resulted in complete pain relief and improved neurological function with normalized nerve conduction.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of three treatment methods for older adult patients with osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures: proximal humerus locking plate (PHILOS) combined with calcium sulfate injection, PHILOS plate alone, and artificial hemi-shoulder joint replacement.
Methods: The clinical data of 48 older adult patients with osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures admitted to the Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Department of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Dalian University from February 2018-August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients comprised 18 males and 30 females, with a mean age of (68.
