Background Deep burns of the elbow lead to soft tissue necrosis and infection, with exposure of deep structures. Adequate wound coverage of this area requires thin, pliable, and durable tissue, while optimal functional recovery requires early coverage and functional rehabilitation. We have found 3 types of island flaps that provide reliable coverage for the elbow. Methods A retrospective study was performed on all patients who underwent flap coverage of an elbow defect at our hospital. The patients' data including age, sex, cause of injury, wound dimensions, timing of flap coverage, postoperative elbow motion, and complications were investigated. Results Between 2001 and 2012, 16 patients were treated at our hospital. The mean age was 53.3 years. Three kinds of flaps were performed: 9 latissimus dorsi flaps, 4 lateral arm flaps, and 4 radial forearm flaps. The average defect size was 183.5 $cm^2$ (range, 28 to 670 cm2). Wound coverage was performed at mean duration of 45.9 days (range, 14 to 91 days). The mean postoperative active elbow flexion was $98^{\circ}$ (range, $85^{\circ}$ to $115^{\circ}$). Partial flap failure occurred in 1 latissimus dorsi flap. Minor complications included partial flap loss (11.8%), hematoma (23.5%), seroma (35.3%), and wound infection (5.9%). Conclusions Flap selection for elbow reconstruction is determined by the defect size and the extent of the adjacent tissue injury. Elbow reconstruction using an island flap is a single-staged, reliable, and relatively simple procedure that permits initiation of early rehabilitation, thereby improving a patient's functional outcome.

The incidence of heterotopic ossification in adolescents appears to be lower than in adults. There exist very few reports of heterotopic ossification with total bony ankylosis in child or adolescent populations. We describe a case of total bony ankylosis of the elbow secondary to heterotopic ossification, in a 14-year-old female. Total ankylosis of the elbow at 45 degrees of flexion was noted 6 months postsurgery, and complete surgical excision of the heterotopic mass was performed. After an additional one-time dose of radiation therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug medication, full range of motion was obtained without any recurrence or other complications, up to the last follow-up of 30 months.

We have performed the operations for the restoration of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion in 17 patients(20 cases of neurotization) of brachial plexus injury at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea University Hospital from October 1991 to May 1997. The mean follow-up period was 42 months. After neurotization for brachial plexus injury, functional recovery of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion were good and fair in 65%. In the functional evaluation, the clinical results of whole arm type were poorer than those of upper arm type, and the operations performed within 6 months since the injury were better than those of other cases.

This study suggests isolated Type IV-MO or Type IV-LO fractures could be treated with nonsurgical treatment because they do not interfere with normal elbow kinematics. Valgus and external rotation instability were influenced by total articular surface, however, posterior and proximal translation were influenced by isolated articular surface involvement of coronoid. Further clinical studies are warranted to validate these in vitro findings.

목적: 전완부 총 신근 건 기시부 생긴 석회화 건염 2예를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 좌측 주관절 굴곡 구축과 통증을 주소로 내원한 42세 여자 환자로 단순 방사선 및 자기공명영상 촬영 후 전완부 총 신근 건 기시부의 석회화 건염 진단 하에 수술적 제거술을 시행하였다. 우측 주관절의 급성 통증 및 운동 제한을 주소로 내원한 25세 여자 환자로 단순 방사선 사진상 전완부 총 신근 건 기시부에 석회화 건염 보여 체외충격파 치료를 시행하였다. 결과: 2예 모두 치료 후 통증의 소실과 운동 범위의 완전 회복을 보였다. 결론: 주관절 외측부에 통증 및 운동 범위 제한을 유발하는 질환의 감별진단에 총 신근 건 기시부의 석회화 건염이 고려되어야 한다.

목적: 3년이 경과된 진구성 주관절 탈구 증례를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 45세 여자가 3년이 경과된 진구성 주관절 탈구로 수술적 소견상 주관절 외측 및 내측 측부 인대는 구축되어 있어 박리술을 시행하였다. 후방 관절낭을 완전히 유리시키고 전방 관절낭을 절개한 이후 수동적 조작을 가하여 요상완 및 척상완 관절을 정복시켰다. 변형된 Morrey형의 경첩형 외고정 장치를 주관절부에 장착하고 조기 주관절 운동을 시행하였다. 결과 및 결론: 저자들은 3년이 경과된 진구성 주관절 탈구에서 개방적 정복과 경첩형 외고정 장치를 이용한 고정술의 만족스런 결과를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
