A Novel Hemiarthroplasty Design for Treatment of Post-traumatic Elbow Ankylosis and Distal Humerus Nonunion: A Case Report.

This case presents a unique 1-stage surgical solution which demonstrates the potential for uncemented extramedullary hemiarthroplasty fixation with simultaneous compression plate osteosynthesis across a nonunion site. The potential for hemiarthroplasty designs to be linked to orthogonal plates preserves the intramedullary canal for future conversion to total elbow arthroplasty if necessary.
