This document discusses the terrible triad injury of the elbow, which involves fractures of the radial head and coronoid process along with disruption of the lateral collateral ligament complex. It begins by noting that these injuries are typically seen by trauma and orthopaedic surgeons. It then outlines the anatomy and stabilizers of the elbow joint. The remainder describes an algorithmic approach to managing terrible triad injuries, focusing on restoring the coronoid, replacing the radial head, and repairing the lateral ligament complex while protecting surrounding soft tissues and nerves. Key steps include using fluoroscopy, considering prosthetic replacement for comminuted fractures, and having fixation devices available depending on the injury and stability.
