Background: Combined injuries of ipsilateral wrist and elbow joints are rare in clinical practice, characterized by multiple joint dislocations or/and fractures and varying manifestations. As there are still no clinical guidelines and no consensus on the standard treatment, this study aimed to explore the surgical intervention and complications of this kind of combined injuries. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a single center. A total of 13 patients with acute combined injuries of the ipsilateral wrist and elbow joints receiving surgical treatment from August 2013 to May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The fracture and joint instability and structural damages were repaired and reconstructed. Results: All 13 patients were followed up for a mean duration of 17 months (range: 14 to 22 months). The X-ray films showed good fracture reduction and joint alignment, no fixation failure, re-displacement, bone nonunion, or ischemic necrosis in all cases. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), the excellent and good rate of joint function was 84.6%. According to the Mayo Modified Wrist Score (MMWS), the excellent and good rate of joint function was 76.9%. There were no significant restrictions on elbow and wrist movements. The disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score was excellent, with an average of 18.5 points. Conclusions: The key to intervention of combined injuries of the wrist and elbow is to identify the types of injuries and conduct an overall assessment to determine the appropriate surgical methods. Early surgical intervention and rehabilitation exercise are the main principles for the treatment.
