摘要To the Editor:Instable elbow results from overuse and trauma.It brings pain and weakness to patients.[1] There are three major considerations in treating this disease:central bone stability,lateral ligament stability,and medial ligament stability.[2] The medial ligament includes the anterior,posterior,and transverse bundles.[3]Its injury usually results from a valgus force and leads to medial instability,heterotopic ossification (HO) formation,and reduced elbow performance score,especially in elbow stiffness.[4]
