Abstract:
Since 1974, we had performed five cases of total elbow replacement; four cases of Coonrad type and one case of Stanmore type. There were done In three cases of comminuted fracture and dislocation of the elbow and two cases of ankylosis of the elbow. We could obtain useful range of motion in three cases and good stability without pain in all the cases. In one case of Coonrad type total elbow, we removed the prosthesis at five years and three months later due to infection of the Joint. In another case of Coonrad type total elbow, there was transitory tourniquet palsy of the arm.
