Restoring Functionality: Humeroradial Total Elbow Revision for Salvaging Total Elbow Arthroplasty Failure and Ulnar Bone Loss.

As the number of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) continues to increase worldwide, one might predict the number of revision TEA would rise as well. The most common indications for revision TEA include (a) loosening, (b) infection, and (c) periprosthetic fracture. Although the rate of revision TEA procedures continues to rise due to the infrequency in which they are performed compared to other arthroplasty surgeries, no gold standard algorithm or procedure for managing severe ulnar bone loss in revision TEA has been determined.
