Abstract
In this article, we give a thorough summary of the management of low-velocity ballistic injuries to the elbow. We discuss initial stabilization, antibiotic coverage, management of concomitant nerve injuries, fracture fixation, soft tissue coverage, and complications commonly seen with these injuries. This review aims to equip the upper extremity surgeon with a systematic approach to ballistic elbow trauma and aid in the decision-making process for these difficult injuries.
