Total Elbow Arthroplasty: Tips and Tricks in the Setting of Arthritis and Fracture Care

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this article is to illustrate our technique for total elbow arthroplasty, acknowledging the key technological advancements and evidence‐based techniques that have emerged in the last 2 decades. In this technical note, we describe our pearls for a reproducible and reliable total elbow arthroplasty procedure. We also provide evidence‐based recommendations on implant selection, surgical approach, management of the triceps, and situations where total elbow arthroplasty is more beneficial over open reduction internal fixation for distal humerus fractures.
