Management of Bone Defects Around the Elbow

Completed

• Conditions: Tumor; Cancer; Fracture
• Interventions: Procedure: HMRS

• Registration Number: NCT00873145
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Brief Summary

Background:

Bone defects of the distal humerus require complex reconstructions, for which standard prostheses may be insufficient. The researchers therefore investigated the clinical and radiological outcome of elbow reconstructions by megaprostheses.

Detailed Description

Type of prosthesis:

STRYKER Humerus-HMRS
