In 1952, Venable [8] published a casereport of a custommade anatomical prosthesis after a comminutive fracture of the distal humerus which was not amendable for proper osteosynthesis.

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.

“…Late conversion to total elbow arthroplasty is possible. First reported on in 1947, the earlier seven reports involving 28 cases with various indications date back to a time in which prosthetic material and design, understanding of elbow biomechanics, and surgical technique were less developed than they are today [ 3 – 9 ]. More recently, with advancement of understanding of elbow anatomy and biomechanics and the development of new prostheses, DHA has regained interest.…”

Treatment of comminuted distal humeral fractures remains challenging. Open reduction–internal fixation remains the preferred treatment, but is not always feasible. In selected cases with non-reconstructable or highly comminuted fractures, total elbow arthroplasty has been used, however, also with relatively high complication and failure rates. Distal humerus prosthetic hemiarthroplasty (DHA) may be an alternative in these cases. The purpose of this study was to report the midterm results of six patients that were treated by DHA for acute and salvage treatment of non-reconstructable fractures of the distal humerus. All six patients were treated by DHA for acute and salvage treatment of non-reconstructable fractures of the distal humerus. Medical records were reviewed, and each patient was seen in the office. Mean follow-up was 54 months (range 21–76 months). Implant survival was 100 %. Three were pain free and three had mild or moderate residual pain. Average flexion–extension arc was 95.8° (range 70°–115°) and average pronation–supination arc was 165° (range 150°–180°). In three, there was some degree of instability, which was symptomatic in one. One had motoric and sensory sequelae of a partially recovered traumatic ulnar nerve lesion. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score, there were three excellent, one good and two poor results. Four were satisfied with the final result, and two were not. In this case series of six patients with DHA for non-reconstructable distal humerus fractures, favorable midterm follow-up results were seen; however, complications were also observed.

“…Erste Studien berichteten über einige wenige Fälle mit verschiedensten Pathologien wie frischen Traumasituationen, entzündlichen Arthritiden und Knochentumoren (Barr und Eaton 1964;MacAusland 1954;Mellen und Phalen 1947;Shifrin und Johnson 1990;Street und Stevens 1974;Swoboda und Scott 1999;Venable 1952). Aufgrund des besseren Verständnisses von Anatomie und Biomechanik des Ellenbogens und der Verfügbarkeit von anatomischen Prothesen kann die DHH Vorteile gegenüber gegenwärtigen Behandlungsstrategien bei komplexen Frakturen oder Pathologien bieten, die große Segmente der distalen Humerusgelenkfläche zerstört haben.…”
