Elbow Replacement Surgery

Sharon_B_H

Hi everyone, first post for me. I just wanted to hear from anyone who's had elbow replacement surgery, good or bad. I have been offered this and am trying to decide whether to go ahead with it. I have recently had a new hip which is brilliant and I have recovered well but I am aware that the elbow is not such a common one and I'm struggling to find out much about recovery, outcomes etc. from real people who have had the surgery. Of course I appreciate it is going to vary a lot in each individual case but any input would be welcome. Thanks in advance, Sharon.

Hi @Sharon_B_H

I'm no expert on elbows but if you click on the magnifying glass at the top of the page and type elbow there are quite a few posts, some of which may help you.

Good luck
