The demographic data and related clinical outcomes were recorded. We use a cutting length of the nail pushing into the humeral canal and then pull back distally to dock the tip of the humeral stem. The cement was packed into the humeral canal, and the periprosthetic bone defect was impacting with harvested allograft chip.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patient age, gender, lesion site, number of previous surgeries, and the time period from the primary TEA to the nail-stem reconstruction were allocated. Moreover, the range of motion, degree of elbow stability, and level of pain were evaluated for each patient following this procedure. All the four patients achieved an optimal range of motion and secure stability with painless elbow at final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
