A primary mode of failure for total elbow arthroplasty is osteolysis caused by wear debris. Loading of the polyethylene components by off-axis bearing loads is the likely cause of this debris. Load transfer at the elbow is affected by many factors, including the state of the

Introduction. This study investigates the epidemiology of proximal radial fractures and potential links to social deprivation. Patients and Methods. From a prospective database we identified and analysed all patients who had sustained a fracture of the

Background. The traditional Kocher approach for lateral elbow exposure is often complicated by injury to the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) and the lateral ulnar collateral ligamentous (LUCL). Kaplan approach is less commonly used, due to its known proximity to the PIN. Extensor Digitorum Communis (EDC) splitting approach allows possible wide surgical exposure and low risk of LUCL damage. The comparison of PIN injury during surgical dissection among these 3 common lateral approaches was not previously evaluated. We aim to determine the anatomical proximity of the PIN in these 3 common lateral elbow approaches and to define a safe zone of dissection for the surgical exposure. Methods. Cadaveric dissections of 9 pairs of fresh frozen adult upper extremities were performed using EDC splitting, Kaplan and Kocher approach to the
