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.

Key words:
total elbow prosthesis
bone defect
strut graft
Introducción

Los defectos óseos que aparecen en el momento de un recambio de una prótesis de codo, o tras la mala evolución de una fractura supraintercondílea, en el momento de colocar una prótesis de codo, pueden ser solucionados con un implante de hueso de banco.

Casos clínicos

Presentamos dos casos en los que se ha usado aloinjerto estructural en la colocación de una prótesis total de codo, uno en localización humeral y otro cubital.

Resultados

Los dos resultados clínicos obtenidos con 24 y 26 meses de seguimiento, utilizando la escala de Mayo Elbow Performance Score, han sido uno de regular y uno de excelente.

Conclusiones

La utilización de aloinjerto de banco es un recurso útil para el tratamiento de los grandes defectos óseos en la colocación de una prótesis total de codo.

Palabras clave:
prótesis total de codo
