Abstract
This section deals with the common trauma challenges around the adult elbow. The bony injuries to the olecranon and the distal hunerus are covered, with references addressing the treatment options and consideration of the mechanics and effects of fixation. The important topic of complex dislocation, leading to the concept of the terrible triad injury and instability is dealt with in detail, as is the difficult issue of biceps tendon rupture and its treatment.
