Uncemented Total Elbow Arthroplasty Data Collection

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Data Collection-

We will enroll patients who have already had/or will be having a uncemented total elbow arthroplasty using the press-fit technique. If the patient already has a file completed through the chart review we will not complete the historical data form, operative form, or previous radiograph assessments. If the patient does not have a file completed through the chart review the data collection will include:

- An Informed Consent Document

- A historical data form

- An operative data form

- A radiographic assessment form

- Patient-completed DASH questionnaire

- Elbow Assessment Form ;
