Abstract
Total elbow replacement arthroplasty is a technically demanding procedure that produces good results in those patients who meet the proper selection criteria. It allows improvement in the patient's quality of life by restoring pain-free function to the elbow. The result is greater function of the entire upper extremity by restoring the ability to place the hand where it is needed. This review will discuss the indications and contraindications to replacement arthroplasty. The surgical technique will be discussed highlighting important biomechanical factors that must be considered at the time of joint implantation.
