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.

Detailed 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
