Article Abstract
Elbow is an uncommon joint to be affected by infection. It is involved in approximately 1-5% of all cases with musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB). Early diagnosis of TB of the elbow joint can be easily missed due to an indolent natural history, delay in presentation, and varied clinical features. Delay in diagnosis can lead to irreversible osteoarticular destruction and loss of joint function. Careful clinical assessment, adequate imaging, microbiological, and/or histopathological confirmation of infection is essential for early diagnosis of TB of the elbow joint. Judicious and early administration of anti-tubercular therapy can lead to preservation of the joint and a satisfactory functional outcome. Surgical intervention may be needed in later stages of the disease to achieve control of the infection, correction of deformity, instability, and restoration of function.

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), in classifying elbow fractures using the detailed 2018 AO/OTA fracture classification system.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5,367 radiograph exams visualizing the elbow from adult patients (2002-2016) was conducted using a deep neural network. Radiographs were manually categorized according to the 2018 AO/OTA system by orthopedic surgeons.

September 2025
Introduction/background: Complex articular fractures around the knee in the elderly patient present an ongoing challenge regarding optimal treatment. While extensive research has evaluated immediate arthroplasty following fracture of the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal humerus, and elbow, relatively little focus has been given to immediate arthroplasty following complex tibia plateau fractures.
Methods: As seen with many other fractures, arthroplasty can shorten recovery and hospital stay and allow early weight-bearing with improved mobility while minimizing complications and possible future conversion arthroplasty cost.

An 8-year-old girl fell onto her outstretched arm, sustaining proximal ulna and radial neck fractures. After closed reduction and casting in the emergency department, radiographs showed improved alignment but limited bony detail. A CT scan performed 3 days later demonstrated 18° apex-medial angulation of the radial neck, slight radiocapitellar subluxation, and subtle calcification near the trochlear notch, concerning intra-articular injury.

Aim: To assess the optimal fusion angle of the elbow to accommodate the activities of daily living.
Methods: The study enrolled 30 healthy adult volunteers (mean age 24 years), who performed 29 activities with an elbow brace fixed at various flexion angles (30°, 50°, 70°, 90°, 110°, 120°). The activities were divided into three groups: the activities of daily living, personal care and hygiene, and modern activities of daily living.
