Abstract
The Guildford elbow is a new unconstrained elbow arthroplasty. From 1985 to 1991, this arthroplasty was used in 24 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The patients were reviewed after an average of 28 months (459 months). Good to excellent results were obtained in 95% regarding pain relief and functional improvement. Complications were few, with only one case of clinical loosening and three of radiological loosening. Ulnar nerve hypo-aesthesia was common but did not jeopardize the final result in any patient.Keywords
