Arthroscopic Repair of a Coronoid Process Fracture: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

CASE A 68-year-old woman sustained an isolated type III left coronoid fracture after mechanical ground-level fall. The patient underwent left elbow arthroscopy with minimally invasive arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of the coronoid fracture using Arthrex Mini TightRope. The patient achieved successful elbow stabilization with a postoperative Mayo Elbow Score of 100. CONCLUSION: We present a case report of a novel technique in coronoid fracture management with stable fixation, minimal soft-tissue violation, and restoration of highly functional elbow range of motion. Minimal soft-tissue violation with use of arthroscopy and suture button was the key element in successful surgical treatment and outcome.
