Osteoarthritis in the elbow joint is a progressive wear and tear of the joint cartilage, which can lead to pain, restricted movement and a significant impairment in everyday life. The causes are varied: previous injuries, rheumatic diseases or age-related joint wear and tear are among the most common triggers.

In the early stages, conservative measures such as pain medication, physiotherapy or targeted injections usually help. However, if the osteoarthritis is very advanced and the quality of life is severely restricted, an elbow prosthesis may be the right solution. This involves replacing the damaged joint with an artificial implant that restores function and mobility.

Modern prostheses enable stable, pain-free movement and a significant improvement in quality of life - especially for patients with severely restricted joint function and severe pain. The decision to have a joint replacement is based on a thorough assessment of your symptoms, your expectations and your individual stress levels in everyday life.

If you suffer from chronic elbow pain or have already been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, we will be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice on the options for a prosthesis.
