  Ulnar or humeral component stem fractures after total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are serious complications. We hypothesized that TEA stem component fractures are fatigue fractures that result from periarticular osteolysis caused by bushing wear, which leads to a region of unsupported stem adjacent to a region where the stem is well-fixed.

  Contracture of the elbow after obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is well known; however, details of the 3-dimensional (3D) morphologic changes in the elbow joint in OBPP have not been clarified. This study aimed to clarify the 3D morphologic changes in the elbow joint by focusing on the distal humerus with flexion contracture in upper OBPP.
