Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of uncemented total elbow replacements involving the press-fit technique performed at the Vanderbilt Hand Center. The press-fit use technique is often used because of complications with cement loosening.
Detailed Description
The three parts of this study will be:
Retrospective Chart Review-
A chart review will be completed on all patients that have had an uncemented total elbow arthroplasty using the press-fit technique at Vanderbilt Hand & Upper Extremity Center. The chart review will include:
- A historical data form
- An operative data form
- A radiographic assessment form
Questionnaire Mailing- We will mail prospective study patients a DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) questionnaire to complete with a mailing letter explaining the request for this information. The DASH will be modified to ask patients regarding their pre-operative time as well.
