Book cover Elbow Arthroplasty

Abstract

Cement is the most commonly used method of achieving fixation of total elbow arthroplasty components. The goal of cementing is to achieve immediate and definitive component fixation. Cementing technique has the potential to impact the short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing total elbow arthroplasty. This chapter will review the key technical considerations in cemented total elbow arthroplasty.
