Excisional arthroplasty, functional anatomic arthroplasty, interposition arthroplasty and distraction arthroplasty are different forms of nonprosthetic arthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty or total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are two types of Prosthetic arthroplasty of the elbow. Baksi sloppy hinge elbow is an all metal sloppy hinge elbow prosthesis composed of two disjointed parts, ulnar and humeral. It has got triangular humeral and quadrangular ulnar stems which are fixed with the help of bone cement inside the medullary canals of respective humerus and ulna.
