Proximal Humerus Reconstruction After Resection for Tumors : Comparison Between Allograft Prosthetic Composite and Cement Sleeve Prosthetic Composite

Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Summary

Proximal humerus is a common site for primary bone tumors and metastatic disease. Reconstruction with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) after resection is a surgical challenge and presented high risk of complication. The options for reconstruction after proximal humerus tumor resection are limited, and depend on the soft tissue conditions and bone loss. The most commonly used techniques include long cemented stem alone (in case of limited resection), allograft prosthetic composite (APC), massive prosthesis. In some cases two step procedure are performed : first step is resection and RSA with cement sleeve, and second step is APC or massive prosthesis.
