title: [Resection of the distal part of the humerus in neglected elbow dislocations. Apropos of 23 case reports].
abstract: The authors describe the results obtained in 23 resections of the lower extremity of the humerus in neglected elbow dislocation examined after periods of between 7 years to 4 months. Results on elbow mobility are satisfactory in more than 70% of the cases, taking into consideration initial disability. But the cost of such intervention to be paid is often a laxity of the elbow and diminished strength. Indications are inveterate disabling dislocation, in case of immediate or late failure of open reductions.
