Summary: Background: The elbow joint is sensitive to trauma from accidents, sports injuries, and surgical trauma. Some patients develop ossification or contracture of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) after elbow trauma. A less invasive reconstruction of the MCL can be performed after resection of diseased MCL. The biomechanical characteristics of this technique have been demonstrated and validated. However, its clinical effectiveness and safety require further confirmation in clinical practice. Methods: This open-label, non-randomised, prospective, multicentre trial included consecutive patients with elbow stiffness from five orthopaedic centres in China. Patients willing to participate in the study, with elbow stiffness caused by traumatic injury, who had reached skeletal maturity, and who had a range of motion of |
