Resection of the proximal humerus may be required for control of benign, primary malignant, or metastatic neoplasms. The defect created by such a resection may spare the shoulder cuff muscles and deltoid (Malawer type IA) or remove them (Malawer type IB). Reconstruction of these defects and restoration of some degree of shoulder function may be accomplished by a variety of techniques. A technique of reconstruction with a composite allograft and endoprosthesis for type IA resections and the use of a proximal humeral prosthesis for type IB resections are described, and alternative methods are discussed.
