EFFECT OF HUMERAL CONDYLAR RESECTION ON STRENGTH AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME AFTER SEMICONSTRAINED TOTAL ELBOW ARTHROPLASTY

Abstract

Condylar resection has a minimal, clinically irrelevant effect on forearm, wrist, and hand strength and no effect on the Mayo Elbow Performance Score following total elbow arthroplasty. Thus, the findings of our study support the practice of condylar resection, which simplifies total elbow arthroplasty for many conditions.
