Abstract
Simple elbow dislocations may present complications that are anything but simple. Although occurring less frequently, these complications are identical to those associated with more complex fracture-dislocations: contracture, heterotopic ossification, Essex-Lopresti injury, neurovascular injury, and residual instability. Each complication is discussed, including strategies for prevention, evaluation, and treatment.Entities:
