The Stanmore total elbow replacement for rheumatoid arthritis. 1984

J R Johnson, and C J Getty, and A W Lettin, and M M Glasgow

Between 1970 and 1982, 50 total elbow replacements were carried out for rheumatoid arthritis using the Stanmore prosthesis. A long-term follow-up of the 44 elbows available for review is presented. Thirty-four of these (77%) had good results, five were fair, and five were poor. The complications and limitations are discussed.
