We present the prosthesis survival of the 7 most commonly used component types of 522 primary Souter elbow replacements performed in the @entity627 Foundation Hospital during the years 1982-1997. The cohort comprised 370 female and 33 male @entity1 with a mean age of 57 (20-81) years. 119 @entity1 had a bilateral procedure. The indications for operation in all cases were @entity309 and other chronic @entity32 . The mean duration of the disease at the time of operation was 25 (2-70) years. Elbows were often severely destroyed and, in one thiird of the joints, essential bone structures were missing. Therefore, in 178 cases, the ulnar components were retentive and in the remaining 344 elbows with better bone stock non-retentive. 47 @entity1 had 51 operations for @entity1349 up to the end of year 2000. In the survival analysis, the general cumulative success rates for the whole study cohort, without revision because of @entity1349 5 and10 years after surgery, were 96% and 84%, respectively. Revision was used as an end point. Cumulative success rates of the 7 most commonly used components are presented separately. The highest 5-year-survival rate was 100%, the lowest 93%. The corresponding 10-year-survival rates were 91% and 76%, respectively.
