Abstract
Elbow instability is a common clinical problem that requires careful assessment and treatment to achieve a successful outcome. Rehabilitation is a key element in achieving a stable mobile elbow. Careful communication between the treating therapist and surgeon is essential so that an optimal rehabilitation program can be developed and implemented. By understanding the patterns of injury and the biomechanics of the elbow, a good outcome can be achieved in most patients who have elbow instability.
