Postoperative x-ray of patients 1-8, respectively. A: The total humerus was removed and reconstructed with only the clavicle being rotated and with vascularized fibular autografts. The elbow joint was reconstructed with a fibular head. B: Clavicula pro humero reconstruction was performed with a rotated clavicle, vascularized fibular autograft and residual humerus. C-H: Reconstruction was performed with only a rotated clavicle and residual humerus.

Postoperative X-ray of three cases with complications. A: Patient 2: Proximal portion in reconstruction with vascularized fibular autograft did not achieve union but the distal portion achieved bone fusion at 25 months after surgery. B: Patient 4 had a fracture of the clavicular segment at 3 months after surgery, leading to revision surgery for internal fixation and bone graft. C: Patient 6 had a fracture of the clavicular segment and non-union at 5 months after surgery. However, there was no need for revision surgery due to a lack of both pain and disability.
