Abstract:
A successful case of total elbow allograft after removal of a twice-failed total elbow prosthesis is reported. The patient, a disabled 63 year old at the time of allograft implantation, can now perform all activities of daily living, including household chores. Both the humeral and ulnar allografts have incorporated, and there is no evidence of degenerative changes or allograft resorption two years nine months postoperatively.
