Can surgery help arthritis of the elbow?

Elbow joint replacements are highly technical procedures which can relieve pain and help restore function. These procedures are performed less often than knee and hip replacements, thus it may be necessary to search for surgeon who has considerable experience with them. See the Elbow Replacement Surgery for Arthritis article for more information.
