AbstractThe two cases presented are fractures of ankylosed elbow joints with severe soft tissue damage. Closed reduction and percutaneous osteosynthesis were performed using the IP-XS-nail system to prevent further soft tissue damage. By implanting two parallel XS-nails between the humerus and ulna and humerus and radius, we achieved a situation allowing early functional treatment of the weight bearing joints. There were no complications.
