Despite growing concordance of opinion in the adult setting, pediatric elbow instability and its management are poorly represented in the literature due to its low prevalence and often unique circumstances. The authors present a case of posttraumatic recurrent posterior pediatric elbow instability in a patient with joint hypermobility. Our patient, a 9-year-old girl, sustained a right-sided supracondylar fracture of the humerus in April 2019. Having been managed operatively, the elbow remained unstable and dislocated posteriorly in extension. Definitive surgical management was designed to provide a stable functional elbow. The principle of the surgery was to create a checkrein of tissue, not changing in length in extension and flexion, and to prevent further posterior elbow instability. A 3 mm slip of the central triceps tendon was dissected, leaving its attachment to the olecranon tip. Gracilis allograft was sutured to the strip of the triceps tendon to increase the tensile properties of the native tendon graft using a braided nonabsorbable suture. The tendon construct was then passed through a window made in the olecranon fossa and a transosseous tunnel in the ulna from the coronoid tip to the dorsal cortex. The tendon was tensioned and secured to the radial-dorsal aspect of the ulna with a nonabsorbable suture anchor in 90 degrees of flexion. At one year follow-up, the patient has a stable and pain-free elbow joint with no functional limitations.
