Abstract
The terrible triad of the elbow is made up of dislocation of elbow, a head of radius fracture, and a coronoid process fracture with ligamentous injury. This injures cause the elbow to become unstable. It happens from falls on the outstretched hand with the elbow in hyperextension associated with valgus stress.
The purpose of the surgery is to regain early stability of the elbow in order to prevent consequences like function’s loss and joint stiffness.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of patients suffering from terrible triad fracture dislocation of the elbow.
This study included 20 patients with terrible triad fracture dislocation of elbow. The age of the patient ranged from 22-61 years with the mean value of 36.30 years (±SD 12.29). 15 patients were males (75%) and 5 patients were females (25%).
At the end of the follow up period (at least six month), all patients were evaluated regarding their clinical and functional outcome according to modified Mayo elbow performance index based on a number of individual subjective and objective parameters.
