What is Elbow joint Replacement Surgery?
Elbow replacement surgery is a complicated procedure partly because the elbow has several moving parts that balance each other with great precision to control the movements of your forearm. In elbow replacement surgery, the damaged surfaces of the elbow are replaced with implants. One part fits into the humerus (upper arm) and the other part fits into the ulna (forearm). The two parts are then connected and held together by a locking pin. The resulting hinge allows the elbow to bend.
Preparation before Elbow joint replacement
Your doctor will ask you about your medical history including allergies or any vitamins, supplements, or herbal products you use, and may advise you to stop taking some of them before elbow joint replacement surgery. If you smoke, you should stop before your surgery.
Recovery and Physical Therapy
During hospitalization, you’ll learn simple physiotherapy exercises and other types of physical therapy to help your arm get stronger and move better. In 3 to 6 months, the pain should go away, and you should have good movement in your elbow. You may need to continue physiotherapy exercises for as long as 12 weeks or more to help the elbow get enough strength.
