Abstract
Introduction Bone defects that become visible during total elbow revision surgery or further to poor evolution of a supraintercondylar fracture can be addressed by means of an implant of bone-bank origin. Case reports We present two cases in which strut grafts were used when placing a total elbow prosthesis, one at the humeral and the other at the ulnar level. Results The clinical results for these grafts, one at 24 and the other at 26 months’ follow-up, were fair and excellent respectively, according to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score. Conclusions The use of a bone-bank allograft is a useful way of treating the large bone defects that may appear when placing a total elbow prosthesis.
