Abstract
The elbow joint has a central role regarding the function of the upper extremity. There is general agreement that ankylosis of the elbow joint as well as gross instability may lead to a major impairment of the whole upper extremity. Both the ankylotic and the flail elbow may be the result of juvenile or adult forms of rheumatoid arthritis (Figs. 1, 2).
