Persistent dislocation of the elbow after a fracture of the coronoid process is a difficult problem. We have performed an open reduction with reconstruction of the coronoid by an osteocartilaginous graft from the ipsilateral olecranon for two patients.

Both achieved a painless, stable joint with a functional range of movement. The joint surface of the graft has a similar curve to that of the coronoid giving good congruency and stability. The technique is simple and the graft is obtained through the same incision.
