Abstract
- Total elbow arthroplasty is a relatively rare procedure compared with total knee or total hip arthroplasty. Total elbow arthroplasty for bony ankylosis is even rarer, and the results are often unsatisfactory. We report a patient who gained good mobility of the elbow after total elbow arthroplasty for the treatment of fractured arthrodesis site with which the patient had lived with for 12 years.
