Description
Fabian Lanzerath, Tim Leschinger and Graham King present a 2026 case of a badly failed artificial elbow joint that had already been revised more than once. Bone loss in the ulna, one of the forearm bones, was severe. Such repeat elbow surgery carries high rates of new problems and further operations.
Their fix came in two stages. First they rebuilt the upper arm side with donor bone and placed the ulnar part in the radius to keep the joint linked. Later they rebuilt the ulna with a long-stem donor bone construct and a metal upper arm part. The report follows the patient over time and shows a salvage route when bone is scarce.
