Introduction

The elbow is the second most common site of non prosthetic joint dislocation. Simple elbow dislocation alone contributes to 11-28% of all elbow injuries. Post-reduction treatment methods include traditional plaster of Paris (POP) immobilisation followed by physiotherapy, sling application followed by early mobilisation and rapid motion. The aim of the study was to evaluate the final outcome and cost-effectiveness of the pop and the sling groups.
