Simultaneous dislocation of the elbow and the proximal radio-ulnar joint is rare. Two children with this uncommon injury are reported. One child had a transverse divergent dislocation that was treated successfully by closed reduction. The other had a convergent dislocation (or translocation of the radius and ulna) which needed open reduction. Convergent dislocation is even rarer than transverse divergent dislocation, and this is believed to be the first time it has been reported

The results of ten excision arthroplasties of the elbow for rheumatoid disease are described. The operation may afford good relief of pain and a useful increase both of hinge motion and of forearm rotation. Instability is not a serious problem unless the patient has to bear weight on crutches. To increase stability after arthroplasty it appears that Kirschner wire fixation is advisable as well as a plaster cast. For advanced rheumatoid disease unilateral excision arthroplasty has a definite value, especially for patients confined to a wheelchair

1. The age changes in the articular cartilage of the elbow joint are presented from a study of twenty-eight necropsy subjects aged eighteen to eighty-eight years. During early adult life those areas of cartilage which do not usually articulate with opposed cartilage always show some degree of chondromalacia. 2. Evidence is presented that the almost inevitable degeneration of the radio-humeral joint in old age is related to the combination of rotation and hinge movements that occur at that joint. This is in marked contrast with the relative immunity of the humero-ulnar articulation which has hinge movement only

1. A chrome-cobalt hinged prosthesis has been specially designed for total replacement of elbow joints disorganised by rheumatoid arthritis, and has been used in twelve patients over the last two years. 2. The technique of insertion includes fixation of the two main portions in the humerus and in the ulna by acrylic cement before they are joined by an axis pin. 3. Ten of the twelve patients obtained 90 degrees or more of painless movement and good muscle control of the artificial joint. 4. The results to date suggest that the prosthesis and surgical technique have a wider application than for rheumatoid arthritis

We present nine patients (five men and four women) who underwent surgical excision of clinically significant heterotopic ossification at the elbow. They also received perioperative radiation therapy using total doses between 600 and 1000 cGy. Five received fractionated radiotherapy, with two fractions of 500 cGy applied on the first two postoperative days, and the remaining four were irradiated with single doses of 600 and 700 cGy. After a mean period of observation of 7.7 months (6 to 13) none had radiological recurrence of heterotopic ossification and eight showed clinical improvement. Assessment of the functional outcome showed a mean improvement in the Morrey score from 33.3 to 84.5 points indicating a high therapeutic efficacy of prophylactic irradiation

1. Three cases of localised deposition of calcium salts deep to the origin of the common extensors of the forearm with acute symptoms clinically indistinguishable from "tennis elbow" are described. 2. Reports of nine similar cases have been found in the literature. 3. It is suggested that "tennis elbow" is caused by a lesion, probably an adventitial bursa, in the tissue space between the tendon of origin of the forearm extensors and the capsule of the radio-humeral joint; and that it is the sudden precipitation of calcium phosphate at this site which causes the lesion here described. 4. Acute calcification near the elbow joint is compared with the similar calcification which may occur in the insertion of the supraspinatus tendon. 5. Operative treatment is advised

We describe the use of MRI to establish the exact diagnosis in a swollen elbow in a neonate. Urgent diagnosis was needed for medical and social reasons. We accomplished this without the use of an invasive procedure or anaesthesia for a fracture that is recognised to be difficult to diagnose in patients of this age group

1. A lesion of the median nerve after reduction of a dislocated elbow in a boy of nine is recorded. 2. The nerve lesion was progressive, and at operation on the seventh day after injury the nerve was found to be trapped in the joint between the humerus and the ulna. 3. The nerve was freed and gradual recovery occurred

A 10-year-old boy who sustained a fracture through a cyst in the ulna later developed a pseudarthrosis. During 13 years' follow-up the characteristic short bowed forearm developed but, instead of the more usual spontaneous dislocation of the head of the radius, the patient also developed the previously unreported complication of osteoarthritis of the elbow

A new technique for repair of neglected posterior dislocation of the elbow is described, consisting of open reduction with tendon graft stabilisation to create a medial collateral and an intra-articular "cruciate" ligament. This allows flexion-extension exercises to start six days after operation. Eleven cases are reported in which the average range of movement improved from 38 degrees before operation to 105 degrees after a minimum follow-up of two years, with a mean valgus-varus instability of only 13 degrees. One patient had a postoperative infection but all the others were satisfied with the functional result

Stable fixation after a corrective supracondylar osteotomy in adults is difficult because of the irregularity of the area of bony contact, displacement of the fragments, the predominance of cortical bone, and the need for early mobilisation. We have used the Ilizarov apparatus for fixation in 15 patients who were treated by complex osteotomies with displacement of fragments for cubitus varus or valgus. Most patients with cubitus varus required medial displacement with rotation of the distal fragment. Those with cubitus valgus required lateral shift of the distal fragment to reduce the medial prominence of the elbow that would otherwise result. All osteotomies united within the expected time without loss of correction, despite early mobilisation. Complications related to the fixation were few and had resolved at the long-term follow-up

We have reviewed 50 patients at a mean period of 2.7 years after operations to restore elbow flexion lost as a result of traction injuries of the brachial plexus. A variety of operations were used and, in general, patient satisfaction was high. Objectively, however, the power in the transferred muscles was poor; less than half of the patients had a significant improvement in function. Poor control of the shoulder often compromised the result. Latissimus dorsi and triceps transfers proved most reliable, and some Steindler flexorplasties also gave satisfactory results. Pectoralis major transfers were disappointing and we do not recommend their use in women
