Resumen

ALVAREZ LOPEZ, Alejandro; GARCIA LORENZO, Yenima; PUENTES ALVAREZ, Antonio  y  GUTIERREZ BLANCO, Mario. Terrible triad of elbow. AMC [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.5. ISSN 1025-0255.

Introduction: terrible triad of elbow is characterized by the presence of dislocation of elbow, radial cupula fracture and coronoid process. Development: a bibliographical review on terrible triad of elbow was carried out which constitutes an emergency for the orthopedic surgeon. Emphasis is made on joint’s biomechanical aspects based on the stabilizers of primary and secondary type besides the production mechanism. In the diagnosis, reference is made specifically to the limb’s vasculonervous examination before and after the reduction of dislocation of elbow. Conclusions: finally, we offer the indications of conservative treatment which are very specific since surgical treatment is the most used at present.
