Elbow Replacement
Elbow replacement, also known as elbow arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves removing damaged parts of the elbow joint and replacing them with artificial components. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals with severe arthritis, fractures, or other conditions that cause significant pain and limit movement. The goal is to relieve pain, improve function, and restore mobility. Surgeons make an incision to access the joint, remove the affected areas, and insert the prosthetic parts, allowing for smoother movement of the elbow joint post-surgery. Recovery usually involves rehabilitation to regain strength and range of motion.
