Abstract
We compared the results in two groups of patients with late reduction of posterior elbow dislocations, one of which had lengthening of the triceps (group A, n = 36) and the other did not (group B, n= 34). The elbows had all been dislocated for more than one month and less than three months. The patients in group B had better clinical results and significantly less postoperative flexion contracture (P < 0.05).
