Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 04/24/09
Amirfeyz R et al. - The recommendation of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA), including in patients with post-traumatic arthritis (PTA), is supported.
Methods- Mid-term outcome of GSB-III semi-constrained TEA was reviewed and results were compared with RA pts those suffering from PTA
- 45 pts with 54 replaced elbows, with an average age of 69 (range 49–84) were clinically and radiographically assessed
- The average f/u was 54 (range 20–103) mo
- Based on MCPI 82% of pts had excellent or good outcome
- This figure was 88% for RA and 64% for PTA group
- Overall MCPI was 83.7 (± 19) and LES 7.5 (± 1.8)
- Neither the MCPI nor the LES were statistically different between the RA and PTA groups
- The mid-term outcome of GSB-III TEA was satisfactory
