title: [Total elbow arthroplasty in the salvage of pseudarthrosis of a supracondylar humerus fracture].
abstract: Non-union of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in the elderly leads mostly to profound disability because of great instability and pain. When osteosynthesis is not possible from a technical point of view, total arthroplasty can be a very satisfying solution.
