A recent meta-analysis and systematic review conducted at Box Hill Hospital in Victoria, Australia, examined the clinical outcomes of surgical management for post-traumatic elbow contractures in pediatric patients. The study found that contracture releases of the elbow led to improvements in flexion-extension and pronosupination motion. Older children, those with radial head fractures, and those receiving open contracture releases may experience greater improvements. The research suggests that operative management is effective for pediatric elbow contractures. [Extracted from the article] |
