摘要

The elbow joint is a complex joint,which,when impaired in function,leads to severe disability.In some cases however,an arthroplasty might be an appropriate treatment.In the past four decades,large steps have been taken to optimize this treatment in order to achieve better post-operative outcomes.To understand these progresses and to discover aspects for upcoming improvements,we present a review on the past developments,the present state of affairs and future developments which may improve patient care further.
