| Popis: | An unstable, arthritic elbow presents a therapeutic challenge. Patients may have painful, limited range of motion, often due to trauma or progressive joint destruction from rheumatologic disease. The options for management may be particularly challenging when treating young, active patients. While elbow arthroplasty usually provides predictable pain relief and joint range of motion, concerns exist regarding postoperative activity limitations and implant survival. Therefore, these procedures are limited to select subsets of patients, typically low-demand, elderly patients. Interposition arthroplasty is an option for the young, active patient with a painful arthritic elbow. |
