Shoulder Reconstruction with Massive Scapular-Proximal Humerus Osteoarticular Allograft after Total Scapulectomy for Proximal Humerus Osteosarcoma Recurrence

Total humerus replacement for osteosarcoma with proximal part of humerus: a case report

Incisional biopsy and intramedullary pinning were performed for pathological fracture associated with a malignant bone tumor of the proximal humerus. Osteosarcoma, for which preoperative chemotherapy had been performed, was confirmed by postoperative pathological examination. To achieve wide resection and acquire a safe resected margin, total humerus replacement was performed, and the whole hum...

A Comparison of Outcome of Osteoarticular Allograft Reconstruction and Shoulder Arthrodesis Following Resection of Primary Tumours of the Proximal Humerus

Eleven patients were treated with osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the proximal humerus. Five of these reconst...

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Proximal Humerus Fractures

Preliminary results after reconstruction of bony defects of the proximal humerus with an allograft-resurfacing composite.

We retrospectively studied 14 patients with proximal and diaphyseal tumours and disappearing bone (Gorham's) disease of the humerus treated with wide resection and reconstruction using an allograft-resurfacing composite (ARC). There were ten women and four men, with a mean age of 35 years (8 to 69). At a mean follow-up of 25 months (10 to 89), two patients had a fracture of the allograft. In on...
