- Discussion:
- allow visualization of
medial epicondyle, trochlea, and
ulnar nerve are
- approach is used for a total elbow arthroplasty;
- proximally the interval lies between the
brachialis and
triceps, where as distally
the interval lies between the brachialis and
MCL;
- avoid vigrous retraction on epicondylar fragment, as this may damage
median nerve fibers to the
forearm flexors;
- main disadvantage:
- inadequate visualization of lateral column;
- medial collateral ligament may be at risk w/ this approach;
