The elbow joint is like a hinge. Elbow arthroplasty, also called elbow replacement, is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged parts of your bones in the elbow with implants made of metal and plastic, with the intent to relieve pain and restore function at the level of the elbow. The 2 main types are total elbow arthroplasty and elbow hemiarthroplasty. <strong>Total elbow arthroplasty<\/strong> involves replacement of all the bony surfaces of the joint. The articulation between the components is artificial. A partial elbow replacement or <strong>hemiarthroplasty<\/strong> is when only one surface of the joint is replaced, typically the humeral side, such that the implant articulates with the opposing native bone. A hemiarthroplasty is most often performed in trauma, typically distal humerus fractures that are very distal. These fractures can be very closed to the joint line and are often not amenable to reconstruction with plates and screws. In arthritis where the whole joint is affected, a total elbow replacement is more appropriate. Most total elbow replacements are nowadays linked. This is usually a sloppy hinge, meaning that some sideways movement is still allowed by the implant. This design has been shown to have lower loosening rates. The surgeon will recommend the type of elbow replacement you need on an individualized basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-e24ec86d alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-02b7a771\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border is-style-rounded wp-duotone-unset-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TEA-cartoon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4228\" style=\"border-radius:10px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TEA-cartoon.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TEA-cartoon-768x488.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-53f77a5e\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/distal_humerus_hemi_xray.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4229\" style=\"border-radius:10px;aspect-ratio:1.2259615384615385;width:262px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/distal_humerus_hemi_xray.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/distal_humerus_hemi_xray-768x626.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b5\u03c2-\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2-\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03c9\u03c0\u03af\u03b6\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9-\u03bc\u03b5-\u03b1\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae-\u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\">Why do I need an elbow arthroplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Conditions that may require an elbow arthroplasty include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Osteoarthritis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rheumatoid arthritis&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other inflammatory arthropathies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post-traumatic arthritis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Trauma: certain fractures of the <a href=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/en\/katagma-periferikou-vrachioniou\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">distal humerus<\/a>, especially those that are very close to the joint, may not be reconstructable with plates and screws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c0\u03c1\u03b9\u03bd-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf-\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b5\u03b3\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2-\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03b3\u03c7\u03bf\u03c2\">What happens before the procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before elbow arthroplasty, you will typically undergo preoperative assessment. You will be asked about your health history in detail. You will be asked to bring along a full list of your medications. You may need to stop taking some of your medications a few days before surgery (especially blood thinners). Before the procedure, you may also need blood tests, a chest x-ray and an ECG (electrocardiogram) or cardiology consult, to make sure it\u2019s safe to proceed with surgery. The anaesthetist will give you specific preoperative instructions, including how long before surgery to stop eating and drinking. Typical recommendations usually suggest no eating or drinking at least six hours prior to surgery. Your surgeon will usually ask you to have a CT scan of the affected elbow for preoperative planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b5\u03b9\u03c3\u03b1\u03b3\u03c9\u03b3\u03ae-\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf-\u03bd\u03bf\u03c3\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03bf-\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03af\u03b1\">Admission to hospital - Anaesthesia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to hospital occurs the day of surgery. Elbow arthroplasty is performed under general anesthesia +\/- regional nerve block, which provides pain relief postoperatively for 12-18 hours.

The general anaesthetic will put you to sleep, and the nerve block will numb your whole arm for 12-18 hours. This also provides excellent postoperative analgesia (pain relief). During the procedure you will lie on the opposite side (lateral position) and a tourniquet will be applied high on your arm. The surgeon performs a 15-cm incision on the back of your elbow and then finds and protects your ulnar nerve. The ligaments around the elbow are released and the bone is exposed and prepared with special jigs. The final implants are secured with bone cement, which sets hard within 1 minutes or so. The tissues and skin are then repaired, and a dressing is applied. Your arm is placed in a sling. The patient wakes up and is moved to recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-9f579077 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-c7d35e66\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-77e12868 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elbow-Replacement-for-Trauma-XR1.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elbow-Replacement-for-Trauma-XR1.jpg\" alt=\"\u0391\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1 1\" class=\"uag-image-3232\" width=\"300\" height=\"606\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f308d4d2\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-006c317b wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elbow-Replacement-for-Trauma-XR2.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Elbow-Replacement-for-Trauma-XR2.jpg\" alt=\"\u0391\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1 2\" class=\"uag-image-3233\" width=\"656\" height=\"837\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac-\u03c4\u03bf-\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf-\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7\">What to expect after the procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Most people stay in hospital for 1 or 2 nights after an elbow arthroplasty.
