En Bloc Shoulder Resection with Total Shoulder Prosthetic Replacement: Indications and Imaging Findings

Rinat Masamed1, Thomas J. Learch2 and Lawrence R. Menendez3

1 Department of Radiological Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, University of California, Los Angeles, Center for the Health Sciences, 10833 Le Conte Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90095.
2 Department of Radiology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA 90048.
3 Department of Orthopaedics, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90033.

OBJECTIVE. Our purpose was to highlight the importance of radiologic studies in assessing the appropriateness of total scapular resection and total shoulder prosthetic reconstruction and to examine the role of imaging in evaluating for postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION. Evolving surgical and reconstructive techniques for treatment of shoulder girdle tumors require radiologists to familiarize themselves with novel imaging findings associated with these procedures. Readers will better understand the indications for limbsparing surgery with total shoulder prosthetic reconstruction, normal postoperative radiologic findings, and common complications.

Keywords: en bloc shoulder resection • prosthesis • scapula • shoulder girdle • Tikhoff-Linberg resection
