This is 90% of the time. Mri mainly useful for the others e.g when there is a suspicion of a short head tear or hook test is equivocal - usually a tear with almost no retraction.

@Gnomelover1970 @traumaticum @drrogervanriet @rish_parmar Yep - just talking about this specific case - small coronoid minimally displaced not contributing to the instability significantly imo

@sdouglas80 Great composure to hit top bins in injury time. This team is a breath of fresh air

@traumaticum Get on and do it IMO. Evidence may suggest leaving till the morning is ok but no pulse and likely neuro deficit despite pink hand is likely to evolve further. Different if it presents at midnight but these almost always come in early evening.

@centerofhip This is one where I position prone - youāre directly looking at the reduction. No tension from the flexors and allows easy reduction then just fire the screw downwards. Really makes it easy. Imaging also a breeze

@Gnomelover1970 Hereās another Lee! Iāve treated two and seen a few more via other people - they all look the same but have variable marginal comminution +\- a coronoid fx where the trochlea engages over it. Interesting to consider the mechanismā¦.

@dave_cloke @Gnomelover1970 Good idea š. One of the situations where a prone position works well. A couple of windows in front and behind flexors works but osteotomy would have given you a panoramic view. Blood supply to that fragment is v tenuous and comes from the medial epicondyle via one vessel.

@dave_cloke @Gnomelover1970 Also it tends to get locked on the coronoid so u have to lever it off
