Abstract
Total Elbow Arthroplasty in the last decades underwent an important improvement in long-term durability and complication rates, making them increasingly suitable even for challenging conditions as post-traumatic elbows. In this work we present our case series of 28 elbow prostheses in sequelae of trauma, discussing the specific aspects and factors influencing the outcome with the evidence of the available literature.
