Design of prosthesis: linked/semiconstrained
Earlier ROM and use of the operated upper extremity for light ADL with linked/semiconstrained replacements, which typically do not require ligament repairfor joint stability
Design of prosthesis: unlinked/resurfacing
More protected, controlled motion during exercise and delayed use for ADLwith unlinked/resurfacing replacements, which typically require repair ofsupporting ligaments for stability
Surgical approach: triceps-sparing
Initial postoperative ROM permissible through a greater range of flexion andearlier active antigravity elbow extension, low-load resistance exercise,
Surgical approach: triceps-splitting ortriceps-reflecting
light ADL with triceps-sparing approach
Preoperative and postoperativestatus of supporting ligamentsof the elbow
Earlier and less protected motion during exercise, less protected use duringADL, and less time in splint during the day and at night if ligaments wereintact preoperatively and did not undergo a release and repair duringarthroplasty
Wound healing
Longer duration of immobilization of the elbow in an extension splint ordelayed end-range flexion if posterior skin quality is poor and healing of theincision is likely to be delayed
Ulnar neuropathy
May require extended immobilization in an extension splint or delay ofexercises to regain elbow flexion
Surgical release of a preoperativeelbow flexion contracture
May require use of extension splint at night for a prolonged period of time
