Reconstruction of the coronoid using an extended prosthesis: an in vitro biomechanical study
Abstract
BACKGROUND: When repair of comminuted coronoid fractures is not possible, prosthetic replacement may restore elbow stability. The purpose of this biomechanical study was to determine whether a coronoid implant with an extended tip would improve elbow stability compared with an anatomic prosthesis in the setting of collateral ligament insufficiency.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Passive elbow extension was performed in 7 cadaveric arms in the varus and …
