Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty for tumours of the distal humerus and elbow.
We reviewed 20 patients who had undergone a Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty after resection of a primary or metastatic tumour from the elbow or distal humerus between 1980 and 2002. Eighteen patients underwent reconstruction for palliative treatment with restoration of function after intralesional surgery and two after excision of a primary bone tumour. The mean follow-up was 30 months ...
متن کاملDistal Humeral Hemiarthroplasty Versus Total Elbow Arthroplasty for Acute Distal Humeral Fractures.
For acute distal humeral fractures not amenable to open reduction and internal fixation, total elbow arthroplasty has become an established alternative. However, lifelong activity restrictions designed to prevent early mechanical failure make this a poor option for some patients. This has led to a renewed interest in distal humeral hemiarthroplasty. Using modern implants and techniques, distal ...
متن کاملTotal elbow replacement for complex fractures of the distal humerus. An option for the elderly patient.
The treatment of multifragmentary, intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus is difficult, even in young patients with bone of good quality, but is worse in elderly patients who have varying degrees of osteopenia. We have evaluated the functional outcome of primary total elbow replacement (TER) in the treatment of these fractures in ten elderly patients followed for a minimum of one year....
متن کاملTotal elbow arthroplasty following complex fractures of the distal humerus: results in patients over 65 years of age.
BACKGROUND The treatment of complex distal humerus fractures is challenging and is often associated with unsatisfactory results. Anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation is difficult to obtain, especially in elderly osteoporotic patients. For these reasons, total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) has recently evolved as a valid procedure in selected cases following these injuries. The aim of this...
متن کاملLinked total elbow arthroplasty as treatment of distal humerus nonunions in patients older than 70 years.
Treatment of distal humerus nonunions may be challenging, especially in the elderly patient. Total elbow replacement has been proposed as an option in selected patients, but a high index of complications has been reported. We present the results of a linked elbow replacement in six patients older than 70 years with a symptomatic nonunion of the distal humerus. At a mean follow-up of 40 months, ...
