Long-term follow-up study of Kudo type-5 elbow prosthesis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: minimum 10-year clinical outcomes
Although the Kudo type-5 prosthesis demonstrated satisfactory results in patients with RA, failures occurred to some extent over a long-term follow-up period. Careful monitoring should be conducted, particularly in cases with a short duration from RA onset to surgery, preoperative instability, misalignment of the implant, and the use of the all-polyethylene ulnar component.
