Abstract
The stiff and arthritic elbow is covered in this chapter, with references including the current thinking on total elbow replacement, its indications, outcomes and the consequences of failed arthroplasty. Nerve problems around the elbow, with compressive neuropathy, or the consequences of radial nerve injury on the forearm wrist and hand are dealt with in terms of diagnosis and treatment options.
