Description: Synonyms: total elbow arthroplasty, endoprosthetic elbow replacement. Whereas hip and knee joint replacement is performed thousands of times per year within the NHS, elbow joint replacement is much more recent and experimental. The total number performed each year remains small but it is regarded as a well established surgical procedure. Not all orthopaedic units will perform this surgery.
