Uncemented Total Elbow Arthroplasty Data Collection

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

Inclusion Criteria:

- Any patient who has had a total elbow arthroplasty using a press-fit technique at the
Vanderbilt Hand & Upper Extremity Center

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients less than 18 years old

- For chart review and post-operative enrollment the patients must have adequate
radiographs.
