Journal of Surgical Oncology, 07/08/09
Mavrogenis AF et al. – Study reports that compared to those patients left without a scapula reconstruction, prosthetic replacement of the scapula and shoulder partially restores abduction and external rotation and improves cosmesis.
Methods- Study presents the modified Tikhoff-Linberg total scapulectomy and constrained reverse total shoulder reconstruction for a Ewing's sarcoma of the scapula
- A combined approach was used:
- The deltoid, trapezius, rhomboids, levator scapulae, latissimus dorsi, and serratus anterior were preserved
- Tumor was removed en bloc by disarticulation of the acromioclavicular and the glenohumeral joints
- Scapular prosthesis was suspended by the muscles
- A constrained reverse humeral prosthesis was implanted after osteotomy of the humeral head
- There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications
- Surgical margins were clear
- At 12 mo postoperatively, the patient had a stable and painless shoulder
