Abstract

Case: A 54-year-old patient had lateral ligament insufficiency due to cubitus varus from a childhood supracondylar fracture. Arthrolysis/synovectomy and at a later stage double-row extensor origin refixation and lateral ulnar collateral ligament bracing with nonabsorbent tape and anchors were performed. Follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months showed excellent Mayo Elbow Performance and Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Scores (24-month follow-up = 100 and 2.5, respectively). Conclusion: Suture tape augmentation and double-row extensor refixation in cases of lateral collateral ligament complex insufficiency due to cubitus varus may provide improved short-term functional outcomes, from the third postoperative month.
