1. PRODUCT INFORMATION
The main goal of an elbow joint prosthesis is to reproduce the articular anatomy. The joint prosthesis is
intended to reduce pain and give articular mobility to the patient. The degree of pain reduction and mobility
depends in part on the pre-operative situation, intra-operative options and on the post-op rehabilitation.
Discovery elbow system is a semi-constrained elbow replacement system intended for primary and revision
joint arthroplasty for use in cemented applications. Discovery elbow system includes humeral stem, ulnar
stems, humeral condyle components and ulnar bearing kit.
