    AbstractWar injuries require specific approach in order to be optimally managed. In case of penetrating or explosive joint injuries, the management should be done with regard of the war surgery doctrine. Besides, it is very hard to prognose the disability degree after the completed treatment. If we point out that the average age of our patients with implanted elbow endoprosthesis was between 23 to 35 years, our efforts to reduce the disability are understandable. For all the reasons cited above, in the last two years we started with the total elbow arthroplasty. In all the patients with implanted elbow endoprosthesis, the improvement in the amplitude of elbow movements was observed. In 20% cases the pain was significantly decreased, and in 80% cases, the elbow became painless.
