Terrible triad!!!!!

"What is Terrible triad of the elbow?"
aritu Mr.Amin ada tanya waktu ward round on-call

Terrible triad of the elbow :
- Posterior dislocation of the elbow joint with fracture of both the radial head and coronoid process
(Kenneth , Joseph D.,Handbook of Fractures, 3rd Edition)

- the socalled ‘terrible triad’, is a complex and difficult-to-treat injury.
