Description of a new surgical approach for Elbow Arthroplasty: Selective Triceps-On Medial Paraolecranon (STOMP) Approach
Surgical approaches for total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are broadly divided into two groups; “triceps-off” and “triceps-on” approaches. Traditional “triceps-off” approaches provide excellent visualization for TEA; however, they carry a risk of triceps failure and require triceps protecting rehabilitation protocols. Triceps-on approaches have the advantage of preservation of triceps function, yet present technical challenges for access to and preparation of the bony surfaces of the proximal ulna and radius
