A new technique of elbow arthrodesis. A case report.
Many techniques of elbow arthrodesis have been described. We have found them to be technically challenging. Our case report concerns a new technique of elbow arthrodesis using a reconstruction plate and compression screw. In our patient a satisfactory clinical result and sound union were achieved. We recommend further use of this technique.
