Abstract
Instability after total elbow arthroplasty can be due to incorrect component selection or position, inadequacy of the medial or lateral ligaments or triceps tendon, polyethylene wear, limb malalignment, or trauma. Patients with significant loss of bone structure, ligament deficiency, and tendon deficiency around the elbow are at increased risk of instability following total elbow arthroplasty.
