Abstract

As is known, the scope of nonoperative treatment of joint injuries is narrow. Joint fractures with a displacement of more than 2mm carry a high risk for posttraumatic arthritis. Therefore, anatomical reconstruction is the treatment of choice especially in young patients. Nevertheless, a variety of elbow injuries can be managed nonoperatively with a high success rate. The goal of therapy must be to ensure a stable (bony and ligamentous), resilient elbow with a range of motion that matches the individual patient profile. In this article, the nonoperative options in terms of elbow dislocation as well as radial head, olecranon, and distal humeral fractures are discussed.
