Elbow incongruity, as part of the elbow dysplasia complex, is believed to play a role in the cause of fragmented medial coronoid process (FCP) as consequence of the association between elbow incongruity and FCP. Mechanical overloading of the medial coronoid process is thought to result in damage of the subchondral bone leading to FCP. Surgical correction of incongruity is recommended to avoid abnormal load distribution and consequent joint damage. Arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of FCP is widely accepted. Aim of this report is to illustrate a different method of withdrawal of large fragmented coronoid process.

Abstract
Elbow incongruity, as part of the elbow dysplasia complex, is believed to play a role in the cause of fragmented medial coronoid process (FCP) as consequence of the association between elbow incongruity and FCP. Mechanical overloading of the medial coronoid process is thought to result in damage of the subchondral bone leading to FCP. Surgical correction of incongruity is recommended to avoid abnormal load distribution and consequent joint damage. Arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of FCP is widely accepted. Aim of this report is to illustrate a different method of withdrawal of large fragmented coronoid process.File in questo prodotto:
