Elbow Fracture Due to Fall
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
This is a middle age gentleman that sustained an elbow (olecranon) fracture as a result of a fall. He underwent ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation). As a result of the surgery the fracture healed with no visible alteration in the anatomy of the bone or joint. He regained full motion of the elbow joint and a restoration of full function.
Image 1 – Following ORIF. Note the contoured fracture implant which exactly matches the contour of the skeletal anatomy. Also note the absence of any residual evidence of the prior displaced fracture. Image 2,3,4. Following successful rehabilitation with our Peak Performance therapists he regained full range of motion and full function of his elbow.
