Abstract
- The indications for total elbow replacement arthroplasty (TERA) include rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative arthritis, acute fracture, nonunion, malunion, posttraumatic arthritis, tumor, and chronic instability. With the development of designs and the increasing use of TERA, more periprosthetic fractures are occurring. On the other hand, there is less data on periprosthetic fractures after TERA because TERA is a relatively rare procedure. Thus, a careful review of the previous literature and appropriate selection of surgical indications are essential for achieving a satisfactory outcome, which should be accompanied by precise surgery as planned. This article presents the causes, risk factors, classification, and principles of treatment of periprosthetic fractures after TERA.
