Lateral Femoral Condyle Allograft in the Treatment of Elbow Capitellar Avascular Necrosis
JBJS Case Connector(2024)
摘要
Case: A 27-year-old woman developed capitellar osteonecrosis after long-term corticosteroid use to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She underwent an osteochondral reconstruction using a lateral femoral condyle (LFC) allograft. This graft was selected because it has a similar radius of curvature to the capitellum. The patient had osseous integration, painless, near full range of motion of her elbow 6 months postoperatively and good shoulder function 1.0 year postoperatively. Conclusion: The LFC allograft should be considered a viable option in treating capitellar osteonecrosis.
