Résumé : Post traumatic stiffness in young subjects has been long considered a bad indication for total elbow arthroplasty. We present the case of a 48 year old woman with an elbow fracture, operated in childhood who developed progressive painful stiffness. After treatment with a cemented semi constrained Coonrad-Morrey total arthroplasty, we have obtained a good result at over 4 years follow-up. The gain of ROM is 40°, the analogue scale for pain is 2.5/10 and the Mayo Clinic Performance Index for the Elbow is 80/100. The subjective impression is excellent and there were no complications. © 2004 Elsevier SAS. Tous droits réservés.
