- Abstract
It is postulated that fractures of the anteromedial facet of the coronoid process and avulsion of the lateral collateral ligament lead to posteromedial subluxation and arthritis of the elbow. It is not clear which injuries require internal fixation and whether repair of the lateral collateral ligament is sufficient. We hypothesized that increasing sizes and subtypes of anteromedial facet fractures cause increasing instability and that isolated lateral collateral ligament repair without fracture fixation would restore elbow stability in the presence of small subtype-I fractures.
