The Effect of Anteromedial Facet Fractures of the Coronoid and Lateral Collateral Ligament Injury on Elbow Stability and Kinematics

Abstract

This study suggests that the size of the anteromedial coronoid fracture fragment affects elbow kinematics, particularly in varus stress. The size of an anteromedial coronoid fracture and the presence of concomitant ligament injuries may be important determinants of the need for open reduction and internal fixation.
