ABSTRACT
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) has become a well-accepted treatment option for many pathologies of the elbow joint. Its use in distal humerus fractures in elderly patients has become increasingly popular and has good clinical results. However, with the aging population and the increasing number of TEAs performed, so comes the potential for an increasing number of revision TEA cases. Revision TEA can be extremely challenging. In addition to the technical difficulties of safe exposure and implant removal, reimplantation of a cemented humeral component with loss of bone stock can be a challenging step in this procedure. The purpose of this article was to describe a novel technique to address aseptic loosening of the humeral stem and loss of humeral bone stock with revision of the humeral component using a long-stemmed cemented implant and intramedullary allograft fibular strut bone grafting.
