Abstract

Four patients developed chronic elbow instability following closed traumatic dislocations. All patients had disruption of the anterior capsule of the elbow joint with avulsion of the brachialis from its insertion on the coronoid process. Repair of the anterior soft tissues restored elbow stability with minimal difficulty and no significant complications.
