Abstract

The elbow-prosthesis, design St. George, a hinge prosthesis is developed according to the principle of the Low Friction Arthroplasty. Only small resection of the joint is necessary so that in the "second line of defence" a resection-arthroplasty of elbow is possible. The experiences on 44 implanted prosthesis and the results of 37 cases are described. Restriction of motion, pain, instability and ankylosis in case of rheumatiod arthritis and posttraumatic arthrosis were the main indications.
