From Which Medical Device
The Lateral Resurfacing Elbow (LRE) from Biomet is a minimally invasive, bone preserving prosthesis designed to resurface only the lateral compartment of a degenerate elbow joint. The system is modular, and hemiarthroplasty on the capitellar side is an option depending on bone quality. The capitellar component is porous and HA coated for press fit. The radial head component has an Arcom polyethylene articulation. Conversion to a total elbow is said to be straightforward.
