Like most other arthroscopic replacements, an elbow replacement is suggested when the elbow joint is damaged beyond repair, either by diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, gout and the like, or if the joint gets impaired in an accident or some other similar injury. During the surgery, the doctor will replace the damaged elbow with an artificially created joint, comprised of a twin implant that conjoins the two major bones in the arm.
An elbow replacement is quite similar in procedure to other joint surgeries like a hip or a knee replacement, for example.

A total elbow replacement is a rather composite operation, compared to a hip or knee replacement. The reason being the elbow joint is made up of multiple tiny parts that balance each other to provide us with maximum ease of movement. Depending on the severity of the fracture or damage, your doctor will recommend either partial or a complete elbow replacement.
Fortis is one of the best elbow replacement surgery hospitals in India. With cutting-edge infrastructure and an impressive medical team, our facility offers you premium, safe and affordable joint replacement surgeries with a comprehensive post-operative follow up treatment.
In an elbow replacement surgery, two major kinds of prosthetic aids are applied. The first kind is known as a ‘linked device’. These are loose hinges that connect and hold in place all the replaced parts of the joint. The second one, known as an ‘unlinked device’, is a tool where parts are not inter-connected, but rather depend on support from the adjacent bone tissue and ligaments to hold the replaced parts together. The artificial implant is usually joined with a plastic and metal hinge.
