ABSTRACT
Postoperative rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the treatment of elbow pathology. Depending on the type of surgery, the elbow may need to be protected. As a general rule, the elbow should not be immobilized for a prolonged period after surgery. A removable splint can be used to protect the soft-tissues immediately postoperative and the patient is encouraged to remove the splint several times daily to mobilize the elbow. Dynamic articulated braces can be used to encourage movement while ligament or tendon repairs are being protected. Literature on postoperative elbow rehab is scarce. In this paper we provide practical guidelines for specific surgical procedures.
