The elbow is the second most commonly dislocated major joint in adults. Good
long-term outcomes have been reported after non-operative management; however, a
small proportion (<10%) of patients have a poor outcome and some do require
surgical intervention. A review of the anatomy, pathoanatomy, management and
outcomes of simple elbow dislocations is presented. Emphasis is placed on
emerging concepts regarding the soft tissue injury, the stabilising structures
that are injured, the sequence and mechanism of injury and the relationship to
elbow stability. The benefits of nonsurgical and surgical management are
discussed and a treatment algorithm based on the pathoanatomy is proposed.
