A new type of endoprosthesis of the humerus is presented. It is indicated in resection of the proximal humerus for primary and secondary neoplasms. After describing its construction and the technique for fitting it, the writers analyse the clinical results in thirteen cases. They emphasize the advantages over prostheses of other kinds: simplicity of fitting, wide possibilities of adaptation to individual cases, and the very satisfactory aesthetic and functional aspect.

Abstract
A new type of endoprosthesis of the humerus is presented. It is indicated in resection of the proximal humerus for primary and secondary neoplasms. After describing its construction and the technique for fitting it, the writers analyse the clinical results in thirteen cases. They emphasize the advantages over prostheses of other kinds: simplicity of fitting, wide possibilities of adaptation to individual cases, and the very satisfactory aesthetic and functional aspect.File in questo prodotto:
