Spooky marionette repair

This marionette was made by the Pelham Puppet Co, a British company.
He is a disjointing skeleton. He could separate his head and torso from the rest of him while he danced.....that is before he became hopelessly entangled.

Can you spot his other problem?
He has a broken femur (thigh bone). You can see one end. the other end is buried in the mess of strings and bones.

He gets untangled a bit.
I think it is time to fix his femur now.

A transverse fracture like this in humans often gets pinned for strength and the same idea can be adapted here.

A pin will be epoxied between the two ends of bone. It will add some strength to the repair.

Femur is repaired and he is fully untangled.
Just in time for Halloween!
