Elbow Arthritis: Treatment Options

SW O'Driscoll

Department of Orthopedics, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Medical School, Rochester, Minn.

The treatment of elbow arthritis is conceptually similar to that for arthritis of other major joints. The treatment of elbow arthritis has been evolving rapidly due to advances in arthroscopic techniques and surgical treatment for contractures and improved prosthetic designs. The reliability of total elbow replacement is approaching that of total replacement of the knee, hip, and shoulder. There remain a number of controversies and unanswered questions that require further experience and longer follow-up for resolution.
