Figure 2. Treatment of the terrible triad of the elbow using a single olecranon osteotomy.

Typical case: a 25-year-old male patient presented with TTE resulting from a fall from a height. (A–C) Preoperative X-ray images show an elbow dislocation accompanied by coronoid and radial head fractures. (D) X-ray taken 20 months post-surgery demonstrates complete fracture healing, with normal elbow joint spacing and no complications such as joint degeneration or heterotopic ossification. (E) Clinical examination 20 months post-surgery reveals full restoration of elbow flexion, extension, and forearm rotation to normal range.
