Abstract EN
Introduction.
The elbow interposition arthroplasty is a very common procedure performed mainly on active young patients who need great functionality and for whom total joint replacement is contraindicated and arthrodesis is noncompliant.
We are going to demonstrate a case of a 34-year-old male suffering from malunion of the distal humerus, elbow stiffness, and manifest signs of arthrosis of the dominant limb, treated with the IA Grika technique at a 5-year follow-up.
Patients and Methods.
The chosen criteria to evaluate the injured side and the uninjured side during the clinical and radiological follow-up were the objective function and related quality of life, measured by the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), and postoperative complications.
To assess flexion and supination forces and elbow muscular strength, a hydraulic dynamometer was used.
Results.
At a 5-year follow-up, the results were excellent as during the first year.
Conclusions.
The Grika technique is a valid and feasible option in the treatment of elbow injuries.
