Abstract
Interesting recent trends are apparent in the setting of shoulder and elbow pathology.
There is an increase in utilization of shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis and
post traumatic arthritis. At the same time, there remain limited options for osteoarthritis
of the elbow particularly in the young and or active patient. This manuscript details
surgical options for osteoarthritis at the elbow and shoulder.
