A Focused Registry to Document the Use of the Short- or Long-stemmed Radial Head Prosthesis (RHP)

The purpose of this focused registry is to evaluate the clinical implications of the RHP position (relative to the articulations) regarding functional and radiographic parameters in patients treated with the RHP with a straight and curved stem.

    • Signed and dated Ethics Committee (EC) / Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active infection at the affected elbow
  • Any not medically managed severe systemic disease
  • Pregnancy
  • Prisoner
  • Recent history of substance abuse (ie, recreational drugs, alcohol) that would preclude reliable assessment

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
