Total elbow arthroplasty was created in 1970s to treat advanced rheumatoid disease. With the better development of surgical techniques and implants, other indications emerged: acute fractures of the distal humerus in the elderly, post-traumatic sequelae, dysfunctional instability, tumor reconstruction and primary osteoarthrosis. However, cases of complications and surgical revision rates are increasing. The current challenges of elbow arthroplasty are bone loss that requires improved revision constructions and the management of young, high-demand patients who tend to have less favorable outcomes. We will present a case report of a female patient, 42 years old, with sequelae of a fracture of the right distal humerus 7 years ago that was treated with total elbow arthroplasty.
