Dr Vipul Agarwal, Dr Brijesh Sharma
Abstract :
Trauma to the elbow is a common cause of stiff elbow. Human is the only privileged species in the world known to walk on hindlimbs and thus it has freed both the upper limbs for various daytoday activities like eating, drinking, cooking, writing, making machines and tools etc. These activities are not possible if elbow joint is stiff. So we require a painless, mobile, and stable elbow. Current literature is not sufficient enough to draw firm stastically based conclusions. There is no high level evidence for the best surgical treatment modality for post traumatic stiff elbow. The objective of this article is to evaluate the results of total elbow replacement as a modality of treatment in post traumatic stiff elbow.
