The elbow works in two parts. One part acts as a hinge enabling you to bend and straighten the elbow. The second part provides rotation or pivoting of your forearm; for example, put your palm up towards the ceiling to receive ‘change’ in a shop. The joint has muscles that move it and also some nerves that pass close by (hitting your ‘funny bone’ gives a nerve sensation in the forearm and/or fingers). The most common reason for replacing the elbow joint is for arthritis, usually rheumatoid arthritis. However, it may be necessary with osteoarthritis (wear and tear) and following a fracture or bad accident. The operation replaces the damaged joint surfaces. There are many different types of elbow replacement. They usually consist of metal and plastic. The surfaces are replaced to give a hinge joint. In addition, the top of one of the forearm bones (radius) is removed as this joint can also give elbow pain. To get into the joint, the muscle on the back of your arm (triceps) is split and cut away from the bone. This is then re-stitched at the end of the operation.
