摘要
We present the results of the modified Liverpool total elbow joint replacement. The humeral component of the original prosthesis was modified because of a high incidence of loosening. 19 patients who had total elbow joint replacement for rheumatoid arthritis were reviewed 8 years after surgery. 14 patients had the modified prosthesis implanted. There was dramatic relief of pain and improvement in function following surgery. There was a reduced fixed flexion deformity and an increased range of movement with the modified prosthesis. None of the humeral components of the modified prosthesis have as yet required revision. In selected patients therefore, this operation is a predictably successful procedure. Our follow-up confirms the ability of the modified prosthesis to provide a pain-free, stable and mobile joint.
