Comparison of total elbow arthroplasty complications between various surgical indications at 90-day and one-year follow-ups in 1600 elbows.
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) was traditionally a mainstay of treatment for patients with severe inflammatory arthritis. Recently, the indications for TEA have expanded and it has grown into a versatile procedure that can be used to treat several pathologies of the elbow. The objective of this study was to compare complication rates between TEA performed for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), fracture (FX), or osteoarthritis (DJD).
