Elbow hemiarthroplasty involves replacement of lower end of the arm bone forming elbow joint (distal humerus). It is considered usually in fractures where it is not possible to reconstruct the broken bone fragments. In this procedure, your specialist will remove the broken fragments and replace it with a metal implant which will form a joint with the forearm bone (radius and ulna). Following the procedure, you will be advised rehabilitation under supervision of a physiotherapist. You are expected to regain the joint movement and strength in 2-3 months.
