Proximal humeral reconstruction using nail cement spacer in primary and metastatic tumours of proximal humerus
Limb salvage surgery for malignant tumours of proximal humerus is an operative challenge, where the surgeon has to preserve elbow and hand functions and retain shoulder stability with as much function as possible. We treated 14 consecutive patients with primary malignant or isolated metastasis of proximal humerus with surgical resection and reconstruction by nail cement spacer. There were 8 fem...
متن کاملPathological fractures of the proximal humerus treated with a proximal humeral locking plate and bone cement.
Bone loss secondary to primary or metastatic lesions of the proximal humerus remains a challenging surgical problem. Options include preservation of the joint with stabilisation using internal fixation or resection of the tumour with prosthetic replacement. Resection of the proximal humerus often includes the greater tuberosity and adjacent diaphysis, which may result in poor function secondary...
متن کاملReconstruction of the proximal humerus after wide resection of tumours.
In 45 patients we assessed the functional results and complications for three different reconstructive procedures after resection of primary tumours of the proximal humerus. An osteoarticular allograft was used in 11, a clavicula pro humero operation in 15 and a tumour prosthesis in 19. The glenoid was resected with the proximal humerus in 25 patients. The axillary nerve was resected in 42 pati...
متن کاملNail Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures
Proximal humerus (PH) fractures are among the most fracture types. Surgery is indicated in displaced fractures. The charge-book for surgical management of PH fractures is restoring PH anatomy, obtaining stable osteosynthesis, and conserving PH vascularization. Proximal humerus nailing is an osteosynthesis technique we have been using since 2000. Our initial indication for using a nail for PH fr...
متن کاملPolarus nail fixation for proximal humeral fractures.
PURPOSE. To report the outcomes of Polarus nail fixation for displaced proximal humeral fractures. METHODS. Medical records of 19 men and 27 women aged 26 to 84 (mean, 63) years who underwent fixation using a standard Polarus nail (n=34) or Polarus plus nail with shaft extension (n=12) for proximal humeral fractures of 2 and 3 parts (n=34) and 2-part with extension to the shaft (n=12) were revi...
