Patients who underwent Total elbow replacement from and after 2010 with a minimum of 6 months at a single institution will be studied retrospectively. The data required for the study will be collected prospectively. Patient demographic data will be collected through the Information team and electronic patient record. Surveys will include questions about whether they recalled the activities that were not recommended by the surgeons, oxford elbow scores and the type of activities they currently perform. Patients will be contacted by telephone after initial screening against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and subsequent questionnaires will be sent through post or by email, whichever the patient prefers. Patients who do not respond to the postal or email questionnaire will be contacted again by telephone.
