This monograph begins with a detailed description of the assessment and management of the stiff elbow from the antiquities to modern developments. Despite advances that have been made, a pessimistic attitude toward surgical intervention for a stiff elbow remained through much of the twentieth century. However, the attitude has become more optimistic, leading to approaches that will be detailed in this monograph.
