Abstract

A study of the end results of arthroplasty of the elbow has been made; 31 cases were evaluated clinically and roentgenographically an average of 19 years after operation. The arthroplasty was performed with a minimum of bone resection using chromicized fascia lata (J-K membrane) as an interposition. The maximum range of motion was regained within 3 months and was maintained during the follow-up period. No patient in this series suffered from pain or instability of the joint though radiological signs of osteoarthritis were common.
