Elbow Arthroplasty
Total elbow replacement arthroplasty, elbow joint arthroplasty and elbow replacement surgery (arthroplasty) can help restore comfort and function to elbows damaged by rheumatoid arthritis. In elbow arthritis the joint surface is destroyed by wear and tear, inflammation, injury, or previous surgery. This joint destruction makes the elbow stiff, painful, and unable to carry out its normal functions. Elbow Arthroplasty, Elbow Replacement Arthroplasty, Elbow Joint Arthroplasty and Elbow Joint Replacement Arthroplasty can be effective primarily in the management of severe elbow involvement from rheumatoid arthritis.
The goal of Elbow Replacement Arthroplasty and Elbow Joint Arthroplasty is to restore functional mechanics to the joint by removing scar tissue, balancing muscles, and inserting a joint replacement in the place of the destroyed elbow. One part of the artificial joint is fixed to the inside of the humerus (arm bone) and the other part to the inside of the ulna (one of the forearm bones). The two parts are then connected using a hinge pin that gives the joint stability.
Indications
Your physician may determine that an elbow replacement is appropriate if you have one or more of the following conditions:
• Bone injury or bone loss contributing to elbow instability
• Abnormal stiffness, immobility, and consolidation of the elbow joint (ankylosis)
• Painful deterioration of the elbow joint cartilage (osteoarthritis)
• Painful inflammation in the lining of the elbow joint (rheumatoid arthritis)
• Arthritis resulting from physical injury to the elbow joint (traumatic arthritis)
• Elbow joint instability or loss of motion, which cannot be satisfactorily addressed by more conservative treatment options
• A previous elbow joint replacement, which has worn or failed.
