“…Total elbow arthroplasty has shown to be a successful option to improve function and relieve pain in severe elbow arthritis 11 24–26. There have been several studies of total elbow arthroplasty, but only a few reports have focused on TEA in ankylosis of the elbow in young patients.…”

“…The most frequently reported indication for performing a TEA still remains an RA but, considering the successful results, in the last decade, the use of TEA has been extended to the treatment of post-traumatic arthritis, complex elbow fractures, ankylosis and post-traumatic sequelae, becoming today a reliable long-term option for many conditions 9–15. Recently, indications were expanded to low-demand young patients with elbow arthritis 16–18…”

We reported the case of a 38-year-old patient who in 2017 presented to our institution after post-traumatic complete ankylosis of the elbow. He complained of stiffness and pain, and the radiographs revealed complete fusion of the humeroulnar joint. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) on admission was 31, and the elbow was fused at 90° flexed position. The patient underwent semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty with Bryan-Morrey approach; after a 2.1 years follow-up, active arc of movement was 120°. The MEPS was excellent with a 100 points score, the patient was able to complete all activities of daily living. We did not report any complications. Total elbow arthroplasty has shown to be a good therapeutic option that make it possible to restore adequate functional range of motion and relieve pain in young patients with post-traumatic stiffness/arthritis of the elbow.

a b s t r a c tSemiconstrained (linked design) total elbow arthroplasty is indicated in a wide variety of cases. Long-term survival is better than with non-linked prostheses. However, mechanical failure of the hinge mechanism is a complication that may occur during follow-up. We report a case of failure of the axle assembly of a Coonrad-Morrey elbow prosthesis 8 years after implantation for nonunion of a supracondylar distal humerus fracture. Initial revision surgery included changing the axle and the polyethylene bushings. Revision surgery was necessary 1 year later when the axle failed again. A custom-designed locking axle had to be used to stabilize the hinge mechanism. After 3 years follow-up, the hinge was intact, there was no loosening of the components and function of the elbow was good.
