摘要：

Loss of motion is a common complication of elbow trauma. Restoration of joint motion in the posttraumatic stiff elbow can be a difficult, time-consuming, and costly challenge. in this review of the literature, the biologic response to trauma and the possible etiologic events that may lead to fibrosis of the capsules and heterotopic ossification will be discussed, as well as nonsurgical and surgical management of stiffness and expected outcomes of treatment.
