Figure 4 Radial head cemented spacerBoth postoperative control projections are shown following the placement of the temporary cemented spacer. The red arrow in the lateral view indicates the height and length of the spacer, while the blue arrow in the anteroposterior view outlines the area where it rests against the cortical bone. The placement of a central screw can be observed, which demonstrates proper alignment with the radial angulation in both X-rays.
