Abstract
A method of stabilizing a patient's ulnohumeral joint including the steps of: obtaining a stabilizing assembly having a mounting portion and a buttressing portion; and implanting the stabilizing assembly into an operative position wherein the mounting portion of the stabilizing assembly is anchored at a proximal region of the patient's ulna and the buttressing portion is situated to abut the patient's humerus so as to limit subluxation at the ulnohumeral joint while allowing movement between the patient's ulna and humerus at the patient's ulnohumeral joint.
