This is because the elbow joint is susceptible to effusion, hemarthrosis, scarring, and capsule thickening due to its small intracapsular volume.

He didn\u2019t seek any medical treatment and had his elbow massaged since 5 months ago. On physical examination, his right elbow was extended, with flexion-extension range of motion (ROM) of 30\n                      <jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup>\n                      - 0\n                      <jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup>\n                      . On the radiograph, there was malunion fracture of left capitellum and neglected posterosuperior dislocation of radial head and ulna. Surgery was performed to release contracture and correct the malunion. Normal activity with functional elbow flexion-extension ROM of 110\n                      <jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup>\n                      - 30\n                      <jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup>\n                      was achieved in 6 months after operation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elbow stiffness is a challenging case for surgeon, especially in regards of developing good perioperative plan.
