Abstract

From January 2000 to December 2008, twenty-nine patients with mild to mod-erate elbow arthritis underwent minimal invasive ulnohumeral arthroplasty. Among these patients, wereviewed the cases of 24 patients for whom we had follow-up data for at least 1 year. There were 20males and 4 females with a mean age of 53 years (range: 31~69). We excluded patients with preoperativeulnar neuropathy symptoms and investigated the mean operation time, the joint range of motion, the timerequired until the start of joint exercise, and the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS).
