Re: Cementing a broken upper joint

As well as glueing the fracture and pinning, has anyone milled slots into the body across the fracture and secured the two parts with several metal plates around the outside wherever possible, all screwed into the slot, then the slot filled flush with the surface to cover the plates so the repair is hidden?

Similar to how some fractures in bones are fixed with metal plates.

Probably a bit excessive on some plastic instruments as a replacement joint would be more economical, but just a thought.
