QID 8986 (Type "8986" in App Search)
A 40-year-old man sustains a fall while mountain biking and presents with a posterior elbow fracture-dislocation. The elbow is reduced in the ER and noted to be grossly unstable with varus and valgus stress. Imaging demonstrates a two part radial head fracture involving 40% of the articular surface and a fracture involving less than 10% of the coronoid tip. He is taken to the OR for surgical reconstruction. After fixation of the radial head and repair of the LCL complex, the elbow is fluoroscopically examined and noted to be unstable with valgus stress. The elbow is ranged and dislocates at less than 45 degrees of flexion with the forearm in full supination. What is the next best step in management?
