Two patients (2%) had slight transient radiographic subluxation (\u201cdrop sign\u201d) that corrected with active exercises within weeks of surgery. Five patients (5%) had persistent radiographic subluxation, 3 treated with a second surgery (3%). When treated within 2 weeks of injury, recurrent subluxation or dislocation after operative fixation of terrible triad injuries was rare (1%), provided that the radial head was replaced and the lateral collateral ligament reattached.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Radiographic subluxation is very uncommon with current operative management of terrible triad injuries of the elbow within 2 weeks. Patients treated more than 2 weeks after injury might benefit from ancillary fixation to limit subluxation (ie, cross pinning, external fixation, or internal joint stabilizer).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Prognostic Level III.
