Elbow arthroplasty offers good pain relief for rheumatoid arthritis and fractures but may permanently affect range of motion. About 80 Danish patients undergo this surgery annually.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Elbow arthroplasty is performed for rheumatoid arthritis and complex elbow fractures, particularly in the elderly.
  • Approximately 80 elbow replacement surgeries are conducted annually in Denmark.
  • Prosthetic fixation can be achieved with or without bone cement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the indications and outcomes of elbow arthroplasty in Denmark.

Main Methods:

  • Review of elbow arthroplasty procedures in Denmark.
  • Classification of prostheses into linked and non-linked types.
  • Analysis of fixation methods (cemented vs. uncemented).

Main Results:

  • Two-thirds of procedures are for rheumatoid arthritis; the remainder are for fractures.

  • Linked prostheses feature a hinge, while non-linked prostheses rely on soft tissue stability.
  • Significant pain relief is a common outcome.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elbow arthroplasty provides substantial pain relief.
    • A permanent reduction in the range of motion is a typical consequence of the procedure.
