An elbow radius prosthesis is a surgical implant used to replace damaged or diseased parts of the proximal radius, often due to fractures or severe arthritis. It helps restore joint function and stability in the elbow, allowing patients to regain mobility and reduce pain after trauma or degenerative conditions.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, requiring compliance with strict manufacturing and safety standards. They are usually supplied sterile and may include fixation hardware, with materials like titanium, cobalt-chrome, or polyethylene commonly used for durability and biocompatibility.
