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.
肘关节置换主要针对类风湿性关节炎导致严重肘关节疼痛和关节破坏的患者进行。髁间假体是无约束型肘关节表面置换假体的原型。成功的全肘关节置换可缓解疼痛，并改善手臂的旋转和屈曲功能。与职业治疗相配合的门诊和住院护理干预可促进最佳功能恢复。
