Elbow Replacement Surgery

Elbow replacement surgery involves removing damaged or arthritic parts of the elbow joint and replacing them with artificial components, typically made of metal and plastic. This procedure aims to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore mobility for patients with severe elbow damage from conditions like arthritis or trauma. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and recovery includes physical therapy to regain strength and movement. It can significantly improve quality of life by reducing pain and enabling daily activities, especially for those with limited options through other treatments.
