Revision Total Elbow Arthroplasty: Restoring Function After Implant Failure

Revision elbow replacement is required when a primary implant fails due to loosening, wear, or infection.

MOH-aligned fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 28,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,000 – 6,000

Coverage is usually favourable:
• Medically necessary revision arthroplasty
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia

Check whether two-stage revisions for infection are fully reimbursed.

Revision elbow surgery preserves independence. Coverage must keep pace with complexity.
