Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Elbow joint disease historically required salvage procedures like resection or arthrodesis.
  • Custom metal component implant arthroplasty for the distal humerus and proximal ulna was developed in the 1960s.
  • Numerous total elbow arthroplasty designs are now available globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the surgical technique of the Coonrad-Morrey total elbow prosthesis.
  • To highlight the Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis as the most widely used implant in the United States.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on the Coonrad-Morrey total elbow prosthesis surgical technique.
  • Review of historical context and evolution of elbow arthroplasty.

Main Results:

  • The Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis is the most frequently utilized implant for elbow arthroplasty in the U.S.
  • Custom metal components have advanced elbow replacement options.

Conclusions:

  • Implant arthroplasty has become a primary treatment for destructive elbow joint disease.
  • The Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis represents a significant development in total elbow replacement surgery.
