Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if perioperative glucocorticoid
administration (IV intra-operative followed by a post-operative oral taper course) improves
post-operative range of motion in a patient population that has sustained an intra-articular
elbow fracture(s) (radial head, proximal ulna, distal humerus, or combined) that required
operative fixation.
