|
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 |
