ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how patients feel about their activities after having a total elbow replacement, a surgery that helps relieve pain and improve function in the elbow joint. Researchers will study patients who had this surgery starting in 2010 and who have been followed for at least six months. They want to understand which activities patients remember being told not to do by their doctors and what activities they are currently able to do. To gather this information, patients will be contacted by phone and asked to fill out surveys by mail or email, based on their preference.

To take part in this study, patients need to have undergone elbow arthroplasty (either total or partial) for any reason and must have at least six months of recovery time. Those who had a specific type of surgery called radial head replacement will not be eligible. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather valuable insights that could help improve care for future patients with elbow problems.
