The open distal humeral fracture associated with the major loss of the articular surface and bony structure is a challenging problem for orthopedic surgeons. In this case report, we describe a case of complete missing lateral column of the distal humerus with severe articular destruction of capitellum and lateral trochlear ridge which was treated with the patient-specific implant created with three-dimensional printing technology. Apart from anatomic replacement of the articular surface, the lateral collateral ligament complex and extensor muscle which are the key soft tissue stabilizers of elbow were repaired by reattaching their bony origins to the impacted iliac crest bone graft inside the implant. Due to the favorable result at 2-year follow-up, this modality is a potentially viable surgical option in treating of the severe open distal humeral fracture associated with entire lateral condylar damage.
