-
Distal humeral replacement and the total elbow are two commonly-used arthroplasties
-
Each prosthesis has evolving indications and surgical techniques
-
Recent changes in device design and implantation methods are due to biomechanical and clinical outcome-based research
-
New prostheses and methods provide: better elbow kinematics, more durable bearings and longer-lasting joint replacement potential
