Management of Bone Defects Around the Elbow

Modular Prosthetic Reconstruction of Major Bone Defects of the Distal Humerus.

Background:

Bone defects of the distal humerus require complex reconstructions, for which standard prostheses may be insufficient. The researchers therefore investigated the clinical and radiological outcome of elbow reconstructions by megaprostheses.

Type of prosthesis:

STRYKER Humerus-HMRS

Inclusion Criteria:

• HMRS of the elbow, distal humerus or total humerus

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unwillingness to participate
