Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) The distal humerus after cutting of the medial epicondyle; the broaches were used to create a housing for the prosthesis; ( B ) the prosthesis cemented inside the canal; ( C ) the distal allograft was cut to a diapason shape to fit together with the patient’s residual femur; a cortical strut was cemented in the allograft medullary canal to increase the primary stability when inserted in the residual distal femur; ( D ) a ceramic head of 28 mm was applied; ( E ) the carbon fiber plate and screws used to stabilize the contact area between the allograft and the patient’s femur.
Article Snippet: The humeral medial epicondyle was removed; the olecranon fossa was drilled to access the medullary canal, and an adequate site for the implant was obtained using broaches ( A); then, a femoral stem prosthesis was cemented (Exeter DDH—Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) ( B).
