During the night, I operated on an acute patient with large pus deposit in the upper arm near the elbow joint. The patient’s hand was paralyzed in the meantime.

Fused forearm bone – a rare case
Yesterday I operated on a very rare case – a congenital fused forearm bone directly below the elbow in an 18-year-old athlete (picture before the operation).
Rare comminuted fracture in the elbow joint
Comminuted fractures of the elbow are very difficult to treat. The X-rays show the bone reconstruction procedure from start to finish.
Comminuted fracture of the elbow joint
I operated on a young patient, an athlete with a rare comminuted fracture in the elbow joint (Fig. before). These injuries are very difficult to treat, as the fragments of the joint surface are often small and it is often not even technically possible to reassemble them.
Intra-articular reconstructions of the elbow joint
Unevenness of the joint surfaces of the elbow joint is usually caused by poorly healed fractures in which the fracture has spread into the joint. There are basically three types of problems in these cases.
Arthroscopy of the elbow
Arthroscopy (s.g. “keyhole surgery” or “keyhole technique” or “arthroscopy”) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a joint in which an examination and also treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope. The arthroscope (optics) and instruments are inserted into the joint through small incisions.
Insights into an elbow surgery
Today we operated on a very unstable elbow joint after a serious injury. We had to reconstruct both lateral ligaments and also the anterior joint… Read More »Insights into an elbow surgery
Throwing elbow
A young athlete (pitcher in baseball) injured the medial collateral ligament of the elbow joint while pitching 3 years ago. He was treated in a specialized hospital by replacing the ligament with an artificial fiber.
Total elbow arthroplasty for pseudoarthrosis of the distal humerus
I have now published my many years of experience with unhealed fractures of the lower end of the humerus and their solutions with the aid of artificial joints in the journal of the Austrian Society for Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery.
Artificial elbow joint
Surgery for an artificial elbow joint (endoprosthesis) is a complex procedure that is performed at only a few clinics. If an elbow arthroplasty is implanted in patients with an elbow fracture, the surgery is even more challenging.
