In contrast to Total Elbow Replacement, the indications for Uni-arthroplasty are much less frequently encountered in practice. In addition, this implant is relatively new, in terms of commercial availability, so fewer surgeons have experience with the implant.

I would estimate that there are fewer than 100 procedures performed each year. You may try to get a more accurate figure by contacting the company that sells the implant--Small Bone Innovations. http://www.totalsmallbone.com/
