Treatment of Elbow Surgery

Step 1

The patient is given general anesthesia. At times, it is replaced by either spinal or epidural anesthesia and a nerve block.

Step 2

An incision is made in front of the damaged elbow to expose the elbow joint. The damaged bone and cartilage on the bone surface are removed. The surrounding muscles and ligaments are preserved.

Step 3

The surfaces of the bones that hold the prosthetics components are shaped. The upper bone humerus and the lower bone ulna are drilled to insert one stem of the prosthetics into each.

Step 4

The prosthetics components are implanted over both bones with the help of the cement.

Step 5

The cut is closed with stitches and covered with dressing.
