Posttraumatic or acute instability of the elbow can develop after complete or incomplete dislocation of the elbow. Isolated medial collateral ligament ruptures can be a result of valgus trauma and lateral collateral ligament ruptures of pivot shift or varus trauma. Chronic instability of the elbow may occur after conservative or operative treatment of a traumatic ligament rupture without stable healing. Repetitive overuse in sports or professions may also cause chronic instability. This article provides the reader an overview about current concepts in elbow instability.
