Abstract
Since the elbow is the articulation that most closely resembles a perfect hinge joint in the human, a number of operative techniques have emerged that impose an artificial hinge to the elbow joint. Currently these include total elbow arthroplasty, articulated external fixation, and distraction arthroplasty (Morrey, 1993). While the success of these treatment modalities highly depends on precise replication of the normal elbow motion by the imposed artificial hinge, there remain conflicting reports on physiologic elbow joint kinematics. Furthermore, no detailed analysis of radiographic landmarks describing the location of the elbow axis is available to date. Such data would allow more precise alignment of the artificial hinge with the elbow rotation axis in an operative setting.
