Summary
This study looks at how inflammation in the nervous system affects pain and recovery after elbow fractures or dislocations. Researchers will take blood samples from 60 adults before and after surgery to measure specific inflammatory markers. The goal is to better understand why some patients develop long-term pain and disability, which could lead to improved treatments in the future.
