Reconstruction of the elbow with distal humerus endoprosthetic replacement after tumor resection A systematic review of the literature and institutional case series

Studies on DHR failure rates and postoperative functional outcomes are scarce. We sought to assess implant survival, modes of failure and functional outcomes in patients undergoing DHR for oncologic indications.
