Total elbow replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged elbow joint with an artificial one. It's done to relieve pain and restore function in conditions like arthritis or fractures. The damaged joint surfaces are removed, and artificial components are implanted. Recovery involves rehabilitation to regain strength and movement. While it can significantly improve quality of life, the procedure has potential risks, and its consideration is based on an individual's overall health and the impact of the elbow condition on daily life.
