Due to the variation in cut-off points, prevalence, risk factors and treatment outcomes of trismus cannot be studied in a uniform manner. To provide uniformity, we aimed to verify the ...

Ellenbogensteifen haben unterschiedliche Ursachen. Gerade die milden Steifen können Folgen von „Bagatellverletzungen“ oder nach Subluxationen sein. Etwaige Restinstabilitäten in der posterolateralen Richtung nach Arthrolyse können zu Rezidivsteifen führen. Eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung während der Arthrolyse oder zweizeitig kann daher sinnvoll se...
