Distal humerus fractures in elderly patients are challenging due to poor bone quality and may threaten the independence of elderly patients due to loss of functional range of motion. Total elbow arthroplasty has gained popularity in the treatment of these injuries. This video demonstrates total elbow arthroplasty in an elderly patient with a comminuted distal humerus fracture.
