Conversion of a Surgical Elbow Arthrodesis to Total Elbow Arthroplasty
Arthrodesis of the elbow joint addresses pain due to intra-articular pathology, but with significant functional limitations. Loss of motion at the elbow is not completely compensated by the wrist and shoulder joints and elbow fusion is thus purely a salvage procedure. Advances in joint arthroplasty have allowed surgeons to address the functional limitations of arthrodesis, but despite these adv...
متن کاملSalvage of elbow function in chronic complex elbow fracture dislocation with total elbow arthroplasty: a case report.
In patients with an elbow fracture dislocation the incidence of radial head fracture is 36%, where as coronoid process fractures occur in 13%, and olecranon fractures in 4% of patients. Combination of all these fractures with a 'terrible triad' is rarely reported in the literature. We describe a 40 year old lady involved in a polytrauma who had head injury, pnuemothorax and an open fracture dis...
متن کاملSalvage of elbow function by semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasty following a complex proximal ulnar fracture: a case report.
A linked total elbow prosthesis was used in an elderly patient to salvage elbow function following failed attempts at osteosynthesis for a comminuted fracture of the proximal ulna associated with a radial head dislocation. A good functional result was obtained at 46 months follow-up, despite questionable healing of the ulnar fracture.
متن کاملTotal Elbow Arthroplasty
Total elbow arthroplasty has continued to evolve over time. Elbow implants may be linked or unlinked. Unlinked implants are attractive for patients with relatively well preserved bone stock and ligaments, but many favor linked implants, since they prevent instability and allow replacement for a wider spectrum of indications. Inflammatory arthropathies such as rheumatoid arthritis represent the ...
متن کاملA method of elbow arthrodesis: brief report.
VOL. 71-B, No. 1. JANUARY 1989 Both RH and FH underwent arthrotomy and synovectomy. Multiple free osteochondromatous bodies were removed as well as several smaller ones attached to the synovium. The histology of the synovium in both cases was similar, showing metaplastic foci of cartilage in the synovial tissue beneath the lining layer, typical of synovial chondromatosis. Some areas were underg...
