Description

This webinar focuses on elbow trauma, featuring Mr. Louis Van Rensburg, a consultant orthopedic surgeon from Addenbrooke's Hospital. The session discusses various aspects of elbow injuries, particularly the classification of injuries such as the "terrible triad" involving dislocations, radial head fractures, and coronoid fractures. Van Rensburg emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex nature of elbow instability and discusses various surgical approaches, including techniques for repairing the lateral collateral ligament and the importance of early movement post-injury to maintain joint stability.
