The lap joint junction of the second-generation intercalary humeral spacer is shown. There are holes for the set screws positioned 180° apart, one over each portion of the lap joint, which allow for compression at the dual taper. Note that although no distraction is necessary, rotation is fixed on cementation of the individual stems into the humerus, so appropriate rotation must be ensured before cementing.
