Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is still in its infancy if we compare it with other arthroplasties such as knee or hip. TEA designs have been evolving with experience; however, long-term outcome data remain limited. The designs of total elbow prostheses can be subdivided into 3 general categories: unlinked, linked, and convertible devices. This article focuses on unlinked and convertible prostheses.
与膝关节或髋关节置换等其他关节置换术相比，全肘关节置换术（TEA）仍处于起步阶段。随着经验的积累，TEA的设计不断发展；然而，长期疗效数据仍然有限。全肘关节假体的设计可大致分为三类：非铰链式、铰链式和可转换式假体。本文重点关注非铰链式和可转换式假体。
