Abstract
- PURPOSE
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is still in its infancy as compared with other forms of arthroplasty. TEA designs have evolved with experience, but comparatively little long-term outcome data is available. This article provides an overview of the current states of linked, unlinked, and convertible total elbow arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The designs of total elbow prostheses can be subdivided into three categories: unlinked, linked, and convertible. This article provides an overview of the current states of linked, unlinked, and convertible total elbow arthroplasty.
RESULTS
AND CONCLUSION: By proper patient selection and by utilizing implant design advances, improvements in cementation techniques, a meticulous surgical technique, and appropriate postoperative rehabilitation, total elbow arthroplasty can provide a high level of patient satisfaction and pain relief.
