ABSTRACT
Elbow joint replacement is performed primarily in patients with severe elbow pain and elbow joint destruction caused by rheumatoid arthritis. The capitellocondylar implant is the prototype of the nonconstrained elbow resurfacing implant. Successful total elbow joint replacement can result in pain relief and improve rotation and flexion of the arm. Outpatient and inpatient nursing intervention in coordination with occupational therapy promotes optimum function.
