The aim of this article is to illustrate our technique for total elbow arthroplasty, acknowledging the key technological advancements and evidence-based techniques that have emerged in the last 2 decades. In this technical note, we describe our pearls for a reproducible and reliable total elbow arthroplasty procedure. We also provide evidence-based recommendations on implant selection, surgical approach, management of the triceps, and situations where total elbow arthroplasty is more beneficial over open reduction internal fixation for distal humerus fractures.
