Abstract
The article presents an analysis of foreign and domestic literature on total elbow arthroplasty, as well as revision arthroplasty. The literature review was carried out on the Internet platforms PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Research Portal, eLibrary, CyberLeninka, rsl.ru. The main directions in research work were determined: indications for endoprosthetics of the elbow joint, implant design, complications and revision surgery. The problem of elbow arthroplasty remains relevant for modern traumatology and orthopedics due to the large number of complications and unsatisfactory results of both primary and revision arthroplasty. Based on the analysis of the literature, the following conclusions were drawn: the rejection of fully connected, rigid systems due to the high frequency of aseptic loosening, the need for further research in the direction of implant design, improvement of the operation technique, determination of strict indications for elbow arthroplasty depending on the pathology, age of the patient and his physical activity, determination of indications for the use of various types of endoprostheses depending on nosology, improvement of technology and development of new methods of revision arthroplasty of the elbow joint.
