A functional study of the rheumatoid elbow

A A Amis, S J Hughes, J H Miller

    Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
    |August 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Rheumatoid elbow issues frequently cause pain and weakness, impacting daily activities. These findings suggest that developing elbow joint replacements could significantly improve patient function and quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Rheumatology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects joints, including the elbow.
    • Elbow involvement in rheumatoid arthritis can lead to significant functional limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical and functional impact of rheumatoid elbow conditions.
    • To determine the prevalence and severity of disabilities associated with rheumatoid elbows.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation of patients with rheumatoid elbows.
    • Functional assessment of activities affected by elbow problems.

    Main Results:

    • Pain and weakness were pervasive, affecting all tested activities.
    • Adjacent joint involvement, flexion deformity, and loss of supination were key contributors to disability.
    • Elbow instability was an infrequent issue.

    Conclusions:

    • The high frequency of functional disabilities, particularly those linked to severe pain, supports the need for innovative treatments.
    • Developing elbow joint replacement could be a valuable therapeutic option for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
