“…ORIF carries the risks of nonunion, loss of fixation, infection, and stiffness. Though TEA carries the risks of loosening, infection, and periprosthetic fracture, it has the advantage that it allows immediate use of the limb and permits elbow function, unlike internal fixation 3444. Both procedures are technically challenging, and complications following these procedures are frequent.…”

“…These injuries are characterized by a transverse fracture at the level of olecranon and the coronoid fossae. The small size of the distal fragments has very little bone which is covered with articular fragments; this makes internal fixation difficult and hence primary elbow replacement is the treatment of choice 34…”

“…Nevertheless, in the last few years, a reasonable evolution has occurred in terms of its indications and outcomes [5][6][7]. Nowadays, the use of elbow arthroplasty may be necessary in selected cases of complex fractures of the elbow, with good functional results [8,9].…”

“…There are several reports on functional outcome and complications in distal humeral fractures treated with total elbow arthroplasty (Cobb and Morrey 1997, Gambirasio et al 2001, Kamineni and Morrey 2004. Fractures of the neck of femur and proximal humeral fractures can be treated with hemi-arthroplasty (i.e.…”
