title: Anterior ulnohumeral compression plate arthrodesis for revision complex elbow injury: a case report.
abstract: Elbow arthrodesis can be used for complex elbow injuries that are complicated or fail other conventional treatment methods. We present a case report of an anterior ulnohumeral compressive plate elbow arthrodesis for a patient with a complex elbow injury from a gunshot wound that failed initial open reduction and internal fixation and posterior ulnohumeral arthrodesis secondary to numerous complications.
