The internal joint stabilizer for chronic elbow dislocation: a surgical technique [PDF]
The main goal of treatment for chronically unreduced elbow dislocations is to restore a stable, concentric joint and regain a satisfactory arc of motion.

Posterior approach to the elbow for insertion of the internal joint stabilizer [PDF]
Management of unstable injuries was revolutionized by the Internal Joint Stabilizer (IJS). When compared to long-term immobilization, transarticular pinning, and hinge external fixation, the IJS results in decreased complications and improved clinical ...

Comparison of direct surgical cost and outcomes for unstable elbow injuries: internal joint stabilizer versus external fixation [PDF]
Background: Unstable elbow injuries sometimes require External fixation (ExF) or an Internal Joint Stabilizer (IJS) to maintain joint reduction. No studies have compared the clinical outcomes and surgical costs of these 2 treatment modalities.

The Internal Joint Stabilizer of the Elbow: A Systematic Review of the Clinical and Biomechanical Evidence [PDF]
Purpose: The goal of surgical management for unstable elbow injuries is the restoration of joint concentricity and stability. After internal fixation, concerns may exist regarding instability or durability of the fixation construct.

Using an Internal Joint Stabilizer Through a Single Posterior Approach for Elderly Patients With Terrible Triad Injury [PDF]
Introduction Treating a terrible triad injury of the elbow remains a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, especially in elderly patients due to the poor quality of the surrounding soft tissue and bony structures.

A single-surgeon experience with the internal joint stabilizer of the elbow across 56 cases [PDF]
Background: Recurrent instability continues to plague outcomes of elbow trauma. Adjuvant stabilization—whether internal or external—is intended to acutely stabilize the elbow and off-load the repair construct(s) during early mobilization.

Femoroacetabular stabilization using a suspensory fixation device in post-traumatic hip instability after hip fracture–dislocation: technique and report of 6 cases [PDF]
. Residual instability after a complex hip dislocation is rare and difficult to manage. Orthopaedic traumatologists should be aware of adjunctive techniques that provide additional internal constraints and enhance hip joint stability after bony fixation.
