The Trauma Journal Club will feature articles from top experts in orthopedic trauma research, emphasizing groundbreaking studies and fostering in-depth discussions.  This session will focus on Complex Fracture Elbow Dislocations. It will provide an opportunity to dive into the motivations behind the research, evaluate changes in clinical practice, discuss study limitations, and highlight key takeaways.

Article #1: Standard Surgical Protocol to Treat Elbow Dislocations with Radial Head and Coronoid Fractures.

Article #2: Trans-Ulnar Fracture Dislocations of the Elbow: A Systematic Review and Clarification of Classification Systems

Article #3: Medial Oblique Compression Fracture of the Coronoid Process of the Ulna

Article #4: Residual Subluxation of the Elbow after Dislocation or Fracture-Dislocation: Treatment with Active Elbow Exercises and Avoidance of Varus Stress

The Trauma Journal Club will feature articles from top experts in orthopedic hand and trauma research, emphasizing relevant studies to clinical practice and fostering in-depth discussions. This session will focus on Distal Radius Fractures. It will provide an opportunity to dive into the motivations behind the research, evaluate changes in clinical practice, discuss study limitations, and highlight key takeaways.
