Aims. This study aimed to answer the following questions: do 3D-printed models lead to a more accurate recognition of the pattern of complex fractures of the elbow?; do 3D-printed models lead to a more reliable recognition of the pattern of these injuries?; and do junior surgeons benefit more from 3D-printed models than senior surgeons?. Methods. A total of 15 orthopaedic trauma surgeons (seven juniors, eight seniors) evaluated 20 complex elbow fractures for their overall pattern (i.e. varus posterior medial rotational injury, terrible triad injury,

The zona conoidea comprises the area of the lateral
trochlear ridge of the humerus. The purpose of this study is to reintroduce
this term ‘zona conoidea’ to the discussion of the human elbow and
to investigate its significance in the development of osteoarthritis
of the elbow. The upper extremities of 12 cadavers were prepared. With the
forearm in neutral, pronation and supination, the distance between

From the experimental evidence above, it is clear that in the upper four centimetres of the forearm the posterior interosseous nerve moves up to one centimetre or more medially relative to the radius on pronation of the forearm. This movement becomes of importance when considered in relation to methods of operative approach for excision of the
