Modified Masquelet Technique Assisting 3D Printed Elbow Prosthesis for Open Elbow Fracture with Severe Bone Defect: A Case Report and Technique Note

Internal fixation for severe open articular bone defects is sometimes ineffective or dangerous. In the emergency stage, radical debridement and infection prevention are demanded to provide a good tissue base and the space‐occupying effect to provide enough necessary space to avoid soft‐tissue contraction for the reconstruction. In addition, the 3D printing technology makes individual limb reconstruction a reality.
