The NESimplavit^® Elbow System represents an non-constrained joint replacement of the ulno-humeral joint of the elbow. Only the soft tissues are restricting the range of motion and the intact ligaments and tendons are stabilizing the joint. Based on the medical and surgical knowledge of the authors it is an improvement of former clinical proven designs. A ligament and soft tissue preserving surgical technique is combined with a minimal bone resection.

The humeral implants are available in 4 different sizes and can be combined independently with the 3 ulnar sizes. Ulnar and humeral components are made of cast CoCrMo alloy. The bobbin is made from UHMWPE and articulates against the ceramic coated axle. This axle is made from TiAl₆V₄ which is coated with TiN to reduce the polyethylene wear.

This system is for cemented use only. Suture holes in the side flanks of the humeral components allow the refixation of bone fragments. The axle of the preassembled humeral components is secured by a torque wrench.
