  1. Overall clinical outcomes of the study population. The first four lines report the basic movements of the elbow: flexion, extension, pronation, and supination (in degrees). The last two lines show the VAS score and the MEPS score in points. For each element, the preoperative and postoperative means (with SD standard deviation and range with minimum / maximum value obtained), the variation, and the P-value are reported
