Conservative treatment was applied to 56 cases of elbow dislocation in the surgical department of the Hannover School of Medicine, between 1978 and 1986. Follow-up checks were made on 30 of them. Functional results were found to be good to very good in 27 cases. Hence, conservative treatment is considered to be an appropriate therapeutic approach to simple elbow dislocations.
