Abstract

Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is gaining in popularity. An elbow prosthesis is nowadays no longer regarded as a salvage procedure for low demand patients but is increasingly used in younger, active patients with higher demands. In elderly patients TEA is more and more accepted as a primary treatment method for osteoporotic complex distal humerus fractures. Nevertheless, TEA is technically demanding and associated with a higher complication and revision rate compared to e.g. hip prostheses. Increasing implantation rates in a juvenescent population will lead to a considerable increase in revision rates. Most common causes are aseptic and septic loosening as well as implant failure and instability. Cemented semi-constrained prostheses are mostly used for revision elbow arthroplasty. This article deals with the causes of revision elbow arthroplasty and describes the operative technique of revision of total elbow arthroplasty.
