Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is a well-established treatment for end-stage rheumatoid arthritis of the elbow. With improved surgical techniques and implant designs, TEA is also effective in treating elbow osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, distal humerus nonunion, and comminuted distal humerus fractures in the elderly population. There have been multiple reports of greater than 90% survival rate, free of reoperation at 10 years. We present a case of early failure of TEA caused by coronoid impingement, to provide a surgical pearl for others to avoid this complication.

The Spatial Relationship Between Coronoid Process and Zygomatic Complex After Reduction Malarplasty.

Background: Reduction malarplasty presents challenges in terms of postoperative complications, particularly limited mouth opening. Excessive inward displacement of the zygomatic complex can impinge on the coronoid process resulting in restricted mouth opening. This study aimed to assess the spatial relationship between the coronoid process and the zygomatic complex after reduction malarplasty.

This study aimed to describe a straightforward and efficient surgical technique for identifying the ideal point of reduction in isolated zygomatic arch fractures using preoperative radiopaque markers. In addition, a retrospective review of patient outcomes associated with this technique was conducted. The collected data encompassed demographics, injury side, mechanism of injury, time of injury, and classification of the isolated arch fracture.

Article Synopsis
- Boxer elbow and handball goalkeeper elbow can lead to osteophyte formation at the elbow, along with a new condition involving the creation of an exostosis on the posterolateral side.
- A study conducted on 12 athletes revealed that imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans were crucial for detecting bone changes and ossification in the elbow, unlike plain radiographs.
- The findings suggest that bony irregularities in the capitellum area might indicate ossification related to repetitive hyperextensions, even in the absence of prior elbow trauma.

An elongated coronoid process (ECP) can lead to impingement of the coronoid process on the body or arch of the zygomatic bone when opening the mouth. The etiology of ECP is unclear, but several theories have been postulated. We present a case of an ECP found in a 63-year-old in a Caucasian cadaveric specimen.

Background: Although the zygomatic arch is an important structure determining facial prominence and width, no consensus exists regarding the classification of isolated zygomatic arch fractures, and the literature on this topic is scarce. To date, five papers have subdivided zygomatic arch fractures; however, only one of those proposed classifications includes the injury vector, although the injury vector is one of the most important factors to consider in fracture cases. Furthermore, the only classification that does include the injury vector is too complicated to be suitable for daily practice.
