Metal-backed elbow ulna prosthesis

Definition

A sterile implantable device designed to replace the proximal ulna as part of an elbow joint replacement. The device is typically comprised of metal-backed polyethylene (PE) and its stem is usually coated with a material (e.g., porous materials, hydroxyapatite) intended to improve fixation and stability by promoting bone ingrowth. Fixation devices for implantation (e.g., screws) may be included and implantation may be performed with or without bone cement.
