Elbow joint replacement

Elbow joint replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged parts of the elbow joint are replaced with artificial components. It is typically done to relieve pain and improve mobility caused by conditions like arthritis or injury. During the surgery, the damaged bone surfaces of the upper arm (humerus) and forearm (ulna) are removed and replaced with metal or plastic parts that mimic the natural joint movement. The artificial components are fixed in place to restore function. This procedure can significantly reduce pain and improve arm movement, helping patients regain daily activities with less discomfort.
