Microsurgical Reconstruction of Soft Tissues in Elbow Arthroplasty

Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Muscle Flap for Soft Tissue Reconstruction after Total Elbow Arthroplasty

The soft tissue at the tip of the olecranon is very thin, leading to the frequent occurrence of wound complications after total elbow arthroplasty. To cover a soft tissue defect of the elbow, the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle flap is thought to be appropriate for reconstruction of the elbow with regard to its size, location, and blood supply. We got positive clinical results, so we report our exp...

Arthroplasty of the Elbow

Willis Cohoon Campbell was born in Jackson, Mississippi in 1880. He received his undergraduate training in his home state and medical training at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, where he graduated in 1924 [5]. After serving a two-year internship, he went into private practice in Memphis, Tennessee. As with other prominent orthopaedic surgeons (Ryerson among them), he visited medica...

Interposition elbow arthroplasty.

Pain and loss of motion associated with elbow arthritis is poorly tolerated and constitutes a major functional impairment. While total elbow arthroplasty reliably alleviates pain and improves motion, durability issues mandate restricted indications and light use. Interposition arthroplasty, combined with hinged external fixation, is an alternative and may be preferred in younger, more active pa...

Arthroscopic Elbow Osteocapsular Arthroplasty

Treatment of primary elbow osteoarthritis in the young active patient less than 50 years old presents a treatment challenge to the practicing orthopaedic surgeon. Following failure of nonoperative management, surgical goals are aimed at reducing pain and improving joint mobility from bony impingement. Arthroscopic osteocapsular arthroplasty is a viable treatment option with few post-operative l...
