Total elbow allograft augmented with vascularized periosteal grafts for salvage of a failed distal humeral joint replacement for Ewing sarcoma reconstruction
Vascularized periosteal grafts have been used to promote bone union in massive bone defects. We present a child with a failed distal humeral joint replacement for Ewing sarcoma reconstruction, successfully treated with a total elbow allograft augmented by vascularized periosteal grafts.
