Abstract
Several surgical options exist for treating cases of malignant destruction of the proximal humerus:
-
1.
Amputation - either disarticulation at the shoulder joint or interscapulothoracic amputation [1, 4, 5, 6, 9]
-
2.
Resection without replacement [2, 3]
-
3.
Resection followed by prosthetic replacement [7, 8]
