Abstract

Total elbow arthroplasty can be a rewarding operation and is becoming increasingly used in the elderly fracture population. Multiple approaches are represented in the literature and deciding on the best approach is difficult. This review discusses approaches and their reported outcomes, aiming to allow surgeons to make an informed choice about which approach to use.
