Figure 1.
Annual number of primary arthroplasty cases (blue) at the upper extremity, revision arthroplasty at the upper extremity (red) (Y-axis at the left) and all operative procedures at the musculoskeletal system (green) (y-axis at the right with different scaling) in the time period 2007-2018. (Note that there is no differentiation for shoulder and elbow arthroplasties in the official report. It is assumed, that less than 1000 primary elbow arthroplasties are performed per year with a 10% revision rate).
