The incidence of degenerative elbow osteoarthritis increases year by year. Its main clinical symptoms are local pain and even stiffness, which are usually inconsistent with the radiological results(symptoms are often more serious). After failure of conservative treatment, it needs to be comprehensively evaluated the condition of patients, according to some factors: age, range of motion, pain, and the severity of osteoarthritis. It is more and more important for clinicians to choose specific surgical treatments, especially for young patients with elbow subluxation or instability. The current principles for treatment of this disease are: low level of pain, sufficient motion and good function.
