Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) offers significant pain relief and improved function. While linked implants are often favored for stability, complications like infection and loosening remain a concern, with outcomes varying by indication.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) has evolved, with linked and unlinked implant options.
  • Linked implants offer greater stability and broader indications compared to unlinked.
  • Indications have expanded beyond inflammatory arthritis to include trauma and tumor resection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution, indications, outcomes, and complications of total elbow arthroplasty.
  • To compare the success rates across different patient populations and indications.
  • To discuss management strategies for revision surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on total elbow arthroplasty.
  • Analysis of implant types (linked vs. unlinked) and their respective indications.

  • Evaluation of complication rates and success factors.

    • Main Results:

    • TEA provides substantial improvements in pain relief, motion, and function.
    • Success rates are highest for inflammatory arthritis and elderly patients with acute fractures.
    • Complications include infection, loosening, wear, triceps weakness, and ulnar neuropathy.

    Conclusions:

    • Total elbow arthroplasty is a successful procedure for various conditions, but carries a higher complication rate than other joint replacements.
    • Patient selection and implant choice are critical for optimizing outcomes.
    • Bone augmentation techniques can yield reasonable results in revision cases.
