 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Elbow drawing angioplasty of post-traumatic elbow flexion contracture deformity [Abstract] [Objective] To investigate the elbow stretch angioplasty of post-traumatic elbow flexion contracture deformity of the methods and results. [Methods] Reference Ilizarov technique developed annular elastic elbow distraction apparatus, in March 2003 ~ July 2005 treatment of elbow flexion contracture deformity in 3 cases, 1 male and 2 females, aged 16 ~ 17 years of age. The average duration of 12 years and 4 months, preoperative elbow flexion deformity (in the elbow straight 0 ° -bit computing) 1 case 70 ° , 2 Li 45 ° . Operative not do the skin incision, only the implementation of pinning in the upper limb, joint distraction with external fixation device to install the process, pay attention to the joints hinge distraction apparatus in flexion of elbow joint center of rotation alignment. Gradually rotating elbow surgery before the threaded rod drawing, to produce sustained stretch force, slow correction of elbow flexion contracture deformity correction in the drafting process, the regular X-ray examination elbow position. [Results] 3 patients after drawing an average of 32 d, the final stretch to the elbow 0 ° ~ 10 ° position, with an average correction of elbow flexion contracture of 45 ° , elbow flexion and extension motion arc from 75 ° preoperatively to 115 ° , the appearance and functions are to achieve satisfactory results. [Conclusion] elbow stretch forming minimally invasive surgery can effectively correct the elbow flexion contracture deformity and improve elbow function.
