Performed less often, as the results are not as good as expected.

Elbow Joint Replacement, also known as elbow arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to replace a damaged or diseased elbow joint with an artificial implant. It is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic injuries, fractures, or degenerative joint conditions that cause chronic pain and restricted movement. The primary goal of elbow replacement surgery is to relieve pain, restore joint function, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.

During the procedure, the damaged portions of the humerus (upper arm bone) and ulna (forearm bone) are removed and replaced with specially designed metal and plastic components. These implants are engineered to mimic the natural movement of the elbow joint, allowing smoother and more comfortable motion. Modern surgical techniques and advanced implant designs have significantly improved the success rate and longevity of elbow replacements.

Following surgery, a structured rehabilitation program is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Most patients experience substantial pain relief and improved ability to perform everyday activities such as lifting light objects, eating, dressing, and personal care tasks. With proper post-operative care and regular follow-up, elbow joint replacement can provide long-lasting results, helping patients return to a more active and independent lifestyle.
