[Post-traumatic loss of function and malunion of the elbow].
Post-traumatic contracture and malunion of the elbow in pediatric patients may result from a combination of injury-related, diagnostic-related and therapy-related factors. Typical pediatric elbow injuries are associated with different patterns of these risk factors. Etiological differentiation allows for initial risk prediction, improves diagnostic awareness and provides adequate treatment in order to prevent unsatisfactory results.
