title: Recurrent dislocation of the elbow.
abstract: Twelve cases of recurrent dislocation of the elbow have been studied with special reference to the cause of instability, the operative findings and the results of treatment. We consider the major cause to be insufficiency of the posterolateral capsule and ligaments, and therefore the best treatment is a posterolateral capsulorraphy.
