Thirty-one patients who underwent thirty-six total elbow replacements between 1974 and 1977 were followed for a minimum of two years with an average of 3.7 years. A scoring system was used to quantitate results. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and functional disability primarily related to pain benefited most from the operation. Patients with post-traumatic arthritis and disability secondary to loss of motion benefited least. The over-all complication rate was 53 per cent and the reoperation rate was 22 percent. However, only one-fourth of the complications adversely affected the final outcome. Total elbow replacement can give good results in carefully selected patients.
1974年至1977年间接受36次全肘关节置换术的31例患者被随访至少两年，平均随访3.7年。采用评分系统对结果进行量化。类风湿性关节炎患者以及主要因疼痛导致功能残疾的患者从手术中获益最大。创伤后关节炎患者以及因活动丧失导致残疾的患者获益最小。总体并发症发生率为53%，再次手术率为22%。然而，只有四分之一的并发症对最终结果产生不利影响。精心挑选的患者进行全肘关节置换术可取得良好效果。
