Abstract

A clinical and functional study of rheumatoid elbows has been done to discover the magnitude and frequency of disabilities caused by elbow problems. Pain and weakness were found to affect all activities which were tested, with adjacent joint involvement, flexion deformity, and lack of supination causing significant disability. Instability was not a frequent problem. The frequency of functional disabilities, linked to severe pain, suggests that the development of an elbow joint replacement would be worthwhile.

摘要

已对类风湿性肘关节进行了一项临床和功能研究，以发现由肘部问题导致的残疾程度和频率。结果发现，疼痛和无力会影响所有测试的活动，伴有相邻关节受累、屈曲畸形以及旋后功能缺失会导致严重残疾。关节不稳定并非常见问题。与剧痛相关的功能残疾频率表明，开发肘关节置换术是值得的。
