    If the original parts of that joint are still inside the knee then you will need the glue and a long pin, just need to dab an amount big enough so that it won't touch any other area inside the joint, then apply the lower limb fimly, it should set within a few seconds and by gently moving the joint back and forth the glue should set without locking then knee.

    I hope this helps. This glue has saved me so many times for many years since I decided to buy it instead of the $2.00 crap that claims to be "super".

    Ok.. do I need to get the other half of the circle out of the knee to glue with the lower leg? But if I did that, how could I put it into the knee passing the axis?

    Or are you saying I need to get the axis out of the knee too and make it through the circle joint? and then put the whole joint back in?

    It is a tiny space in that knee... putting glue inside might stick all parts together in the knee...

    If you have or access to a 3D printer then you could perhaps reproduce the bottom part of the right leg, give it a coat of paint & reassemble the leg.

    Alternatively, you could kindly ask Heather Mills for hers.

    So there's a broken half circle piece inside the knee joint? You'll either have to jiggle it out or take apart the upper leg by splitting it in half. I assume that's how they formed the joint in the first place.

    Any chance you could post a couple more photos of the knee and leg from different angles?
