Osteoarthritis of the elbow joint is <strong>less common than osteoarthritis of the hip or knee<\/strong>. The elbow is a joint unloaded with the body weight and its disease with primary arthrosis therefore often proceeds with smaller complaints compared to complaints of the hip or knee. Symptomatic osteoarthritis of the elbow is characterized by limited motion and pain. It differs from osteoarthritis of other joints in that it is characterized by the formation of peripheral bony deposits and joint stiffness rather than a narrowing of the joint space. Elbow osteoarthritis was first described in British miners in 1955, and the first clinical and radiological changes were published by Japanese orthopedists in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

Primary osteoarthritis is the development of a degenerative disease <strong>without an identifiable cause<\/strong>. <strong>Secondary arthrosis<\/strong> most often develops after a <strong>fracture in the elbow region<\/strong>. Nowadays, <strong>post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the elbow joint<\/strong> is the most common. Due to the shape of the elbow joint, unevenness of the joint surfaces above 2 mm is poorly tolerated and is the cause of the development of secondary degenerative changes. A step-like unevenness of the articular surface greater than 2 mm should therefore be corrected at an early stage by corrective surgery. Therefore, we reconstruct elbow fractures as perfectly as possible and thus prevent the development of osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-db773de\" data-id=\"db773de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e8dd77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e8dd77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1320\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogenarthrose-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e9b7270 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e9b7270\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4eccadf\" data-id=\"4eccadf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0d4540 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0d4540\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Incidence of elbow osteoarthritis<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac6ea28 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1214 elementor-global-172 elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ac6ea28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62e83ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62e83ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Primary osteoarthritis of the elbow affects about 2% of the population. The average age at which symptoms appear is 50 years. Causes include heredity, aging, bone loss, or excessive stress on the joint. Elbow osteoarthritis is most common in men who perform heavy physical labor (typically work with pneumatic tools) or in athletes (with overhead activity, usually throwers). Women are four times less likely to be affected than men. For example, elbow arthrosis is more common in <strong>wheelchair users <\/strong>or patients who are permanently dependent on <strong>crutches <\/strong>at a young age.<\/p>\n<p>Even as an unloaded joint, the elbow physiologically carries a load many times greater than body weight in a variety of activities. Primary osteoarthritis usually affects the inner part of the joint first and the degree of its development here is associated with age. The outer side of the joint does not show such development of degenerative changes at the

However, arthroscopy should only be indicated in the initial stages of the degenerative process. It is possible to remove bony deposits (osteophytes) from both anterior and posterior parts of the elbow joint. Removal of osteophytes from the anterior part of the joint is much more difficult. Extraction of free joint corpuscles is not difficult. However, it is important to always keep in mind that arthroscopy of a degenerated elbow joint is much more difficult than for a joint with normal anatomical conditions. In osteoarthritis, surgical conditions aggravate osteophytes and joint capsule stiffness, but mainly significantly reduces joint space volume.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fbf262 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"5fbf262\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fffb7e2\" data-id=\"fffb7e2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65203d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"65203d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1469\" alt=\"Elbow osteoarthritis\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ortho-hart.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ellenbogen-Arthrose-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f3252b0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f3252b0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0d32e6c\" data-id=\"0d32e6c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0392063 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0392063\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Other surgical techniques<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b331611 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b331611\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If we indicate that arthroscopy is not sufficient to clean the joint, the technique described by Outerbridge and Kashiwagi, which is also less invasive, can be used.

If we see signs of significant ulnar nerve compression, we need to focus on releasing the nerve when cleaning the elbow or move it directly anteriorly.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If more than 50% of the articular cartilage circumference is lost in osteoarthritis due to joint irregularities, or if reconstruction of the joint surface is not possible due to significant degenerative changes, we must consider the indication for implantation of an artificial joint. Resolution of osteoarthritis by interposition arthroplasty (using a distraction device), has not been widely used in European countries. I apply the distraction fixator externally with good results in <strong>young patients with moderate osteoarthritis <\/strong>and concomitant elbow stiffness who do not want to be limited by an implanted total joint <strong>arthroplasty <\/strong>(artificial joint). However, the creation of the distraction apparatus is a relatively delicate task that is reserved for an experienced surgeon. After restoration of the anatomical shape of the articular surfaces, the articular surface of the humerus can be covered with a graft. The distraction apparatus remains loaded for at least four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In older and especially less physically active patients, the solution for advanced arthrosis of the elbow joint is a total endoprosthesis (artificial joint). The topic of endoprostheses of the elbow joint is very extensive and complex, and only a few narrowly specialized orthopedists are dedicated to this problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthrosis of the elbow (cubital arthrosis): symptoms, causes and treatment Osteoarthritis is a slowly worsening degenerative joint disease caused by irreversible loss of articular cartilage and changes in the bone beneath the articular cartilage.
