Abstract
Elbow ankylosis is a complication of delayed treatment of elbow injuries especially in patients with associated traumatic brain injury and thermal burns. This is a case report of a 22 year old young man with traumatic right elbow ankylosis of 6 years following a fall. The range of movement (ROM) of the elbow joint was 100-300.He was treated by different traditional bone setters for 6 years without success. He was managed by use of Ilizarov device after excision of heterotopic bone in the joint to achieve a forearm arc of 100-1400. Indomethacin tablet was given to prevent new heterotopic bone and physiotherapy was done to maintain the ROM. At 14 months post-operation, the ROM has remained the same.
