Aims

The aim of this study was to review the provision of total elbow arthroplasties (TEAs) in England, including the incidence, the characteristics of the patients and the service providers, the types of implant, and the outcomes.

Methods

We analyzed the primary TEAs recorded in the National Joint Registry (NJR) between April 2012 and December 2022, with mortality data from the Civil Registration of Deaths dataset. Linkage with Hospital Episode Statistics-Admitted Patient Care (HES-APC) data provided further information not collected by the NJR. The incidences were calculated using estimations of the populations from the Office for National Statistics. The annual number of TEAs performed by surgeons and hospitals was analyzed on a national and regional basis.

Aim

The primary aim of this retrospective study was to identify the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following elective and trauma elbow arthroplasty. The secondary aim was to determine clinical outcomes with respect to the formation of heterotopic ossification.

Patients and Methods

A total of 55 total elbow arthroplasties (TEAs) (52 patients) performed between June 2007 and December 2015 were eligible for inclusion in the study (29 TEAs for primary elective arthroplasty and 26 TEAs for trauma). At review, 15 patients (17 total elbow arthroplasties) had died from unrelated causes. There were 14 men and 38 women with a mean age of 70 years (42 to 90). The median clinical follow-up was 3.6 years (1.2 to 6) and the median radiological follow-up was 3.1 years (0.5 to 7.5).
