Oncologic reconstruction of the proximal humerus with a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty megaprosthesis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"
DOI: 10.1002/jso.25061
Abstract: Both malignant and benign tumors of the proximal humerus may necessitate resection of a substantial portion of the proximal humerus, making reconstruction options challenging. While hemiarthroplasty has been a classic treatment, reverse total shoulder replacement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-017-3652-6
Abstract: The surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures remains controversial primarily due to the high complication rate associated with the available fixation methods. In an attempt to reduce the incidence of serious complications and subsequent poor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-018-3995-7
Abstract: PurposeHemiarthroplasty (HA) for proximal humerus fracture (PHF) is associated with tuberosity complications like migration, non-union, and resorption. In order to improve the rate of consolidation of the greater tuberosity (GT), we have developed a hollow… read more here.
