Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Elbow arthrodesis is a salvage procedure for complex elbow conditions.
  • Indications include failed total elbow replacement, bone loss, and severe arthritis.
  • Post-traumatic and post-infectious arthritis present significant reconstructive challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the surgical technique for elbow arthrodesis.
  • To illustrate the procedure in a patient with specific complex elbow pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical video demonstration of elbow arthrodesis.
  • Technique addresses segmental bony defects and severe arthritis.
  • Procedure performed on a patient with a history of degloving injury, Monteggia fracture, and radial head fracture.

Main Results:

  • The video showcases the step-by-step surgical approach.
  • Highlights the management of bone defects and joint fusion.
  • Demonstrates the feasibility of elbow arthrodesis in a complex case.

Conclusions:

  • Elbow arthrodesis is a viable option for severe elbow destruction.
  • The presented technique effectively addresses complex post-traumatic and post-infectious elbow conditions.
  • This salvage procedure can restore function in challenging cases.
