Abstract:
Six consecutive patients with a stiff, painful, nonfunctional elbow were reconstructed utilizing a semicontrained total elbow prosthetic replacement. All patients had multiple previous surgical procedures with unsuccessful results. The average preoperative flexion (80 degrees) and extension (-60 degrees) improved to 130 degrees to -10 degrees respectively. All patients were able to regain satisfactory use of the elbow without pain.
