    AbstractElbow injuries continue to rise with increased athletic activity and life expectancy. Knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics of this sophisticated joint, various injury patterns, and the implication of injury to the static and dynamic stabilizers will result in improvement in specific diagnosis, and therapy. The surgical treatment of trauma to the adult elbow has evolved rapidly in recent years and many useful concepts and techniques have been established. This paper reviews the published scientific data and current opinion available to guide patient care.
