Early elbow mobilization limits scar retraction and supports intraligamentous bone metaplasia, while correctly centered HEF provides MCL and LCL isometry.
Therefore, the fracture fixation method employed must be secure enough to allow for early elbow mobilization [29].
A misplaced HEF results in increased strength and friction during elbow mobilization, increased bending stress in the bone screws, and asymmetric tension in collateral ligaments during joint movement (Figs. 1, 2, 3), which may be responsible for the complications [6, 10, 11, 12, 13].

Subjects were then asked to perform limb movements (at their best convenience) for 2 minutes according to a standard sequence, simulating those performed by the EG, in what refers to shoulder and elbow joint mobilization.
Hinged external elbow fixation enables early mobilization after complex elbow dislocation and residual instability, but alignment of the fixator may cause complications and require revision procedures [6].
The kinetic effects of the pins placement and elbow angle on concentric distraction and mobilization were also discussed.
The fixator provides stability to the elbow joint, and allows for early mobilization.
The mobilization of an ankylosed elbow may be accomplished by simple excision, provided sufficient bone is removed, but such a procedure may render the part weak and unstable.
Mobility of elbow.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of early mobilization with a hinged external elbow fixator on clinical outcome in patients with complex elbow dislocations with residual instability following fracture fixation.
Joint distraction and mobilization with a hinged external fixator preserves elbow stability and mobility.
