Terrible triad injury of the elbow - radial head reconstruction and LCL stabilization An 80-year-old female experienced a ground-level fall at home, resulting in a posterolateral dislocation of the right elbow, a multifragmentary displaced radial head fracture (Mason IV), and a type I ...

This one for eg. Geriatric, bad bone. No landmarks to put the head back on the shaft. Back table recon then *holds up thumb* put it back in.

Came back last week after another fall. CT elbow - fully united at 9 months

I kind of left that conclusion out of the talk.

Will fine tune the talk if I’m ever invited to bang on about it again

First person to actually engage and want to talk about this!
(Multiple platforms and real life)

My position is: a buttress plate is redirecting load through the plate (in bending/compression) to a site remote from the zone of injury. An AG plate facilitates load bearing through the zone of injury

no shit!

I do somewhere. It’s not my case, but I thought the intraop looked suspicious - hence got a postop CT

Heres something Lee likes to bang on about - and he's right

attention to the screw trajectory and length of ulnar screws around the radial tuberosity, threatens blocking supination as the tuberosity and biceps get trapped
