Soft tissue contractures about the elbow

A P Weiss et al. Hand Clin. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Hard and soft tissue injury to the elbow may be complicated by progressive secondary joint contracture. Motion-directed therapy often improves or eliminates elbow contracture if it is recognized early in treatment. Progressive soft tissue contracture, with or without the concomitant development of heterotopic ossification, is best treated by surgical release. This article discusses the operative technique and the results of treatment.
