Fig. 1B —44-year-old woman with chondrosarcoma of right proximal
humerus. Axial inversion recovery MR image shows lobular extension of mass
into surrounding soft tissues and glenohumeral joint. Note encasement of long
head of biceps tendon (arrow) and articular extension, indicating
extraarticular resection by means of Tikhoff-Linberg procedure.

Fig. 2 —29-year-old man with chondrosarcoma of right scapula. Axial
IV contrast-enhanced CT scan reveals that scapular tumor (black
arrow) does not involve axillary neurovascular bundle (white
arrow), making Tikhoff-Linberg procedure a safe limb-sparing option.

Fig. 4B —33-year-old man with right scapular chondrosarcoma.
Anteroposterior conventional radiograph shows limb-sparing surgery, resecting
involved part of chest wall along with proximal humerus, distal clavicle, and
entire scapula and replacing it with total shoulder prosthesis (Scapular
Implant, version 1.0, Nonmodular Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics
[formerly Howmedica Osteonics]). This patient had not experienced recurrence
at 12-month follow-up.

Fig. 5A —29-year-old woman with Ewing sarcoma of right scapula.
Intraoperative photograph shows size difference between resected scapula and
implant (Scapular Implant, version 2.0, Nonmodular Humeral Implant; Stryker
Orthopaedics [formerly Howmedica Osteonics]) that will replace it. Also note
anteversion of glenoid cavity in both resected specimen (arrow) and
implant.

Fig. 6A —63-year-old man after Tikhoff-Linberg procedure and total
shoulder prosthetic reconstruction for metastatic renal cell carcinoma of
scapula. Photograph shows modular version of humeral endoprostheses (Scapular
Implant, version 1.0, Nonmodular Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics
[formerly Howmedica Osteonics]), consisting of proximal humeral segment (1),
intercalary segment (2), and intramedullary component (3).

Fig. 6B —63-year-old man after Tikhoff-Linberg procedure and total
shoulder prosthetic reconstruction for metastatic renal cell carcinoma of
scapula. Anteroposterior radiograph shows modular humeral implant in place
along with scapular implant (Scapular Implant, version 1.0, Modular Humeral
Implant).

Fig. 7A —19-year-old man after Tikhoff-Linberg procedure and total
shoulder prosthetic reconstruction for Ewing sarcoma of left scapula.
Anteroposterior internal rotation radiograph shows implant (Scapular Implant,
version 2.0, Nonmodular Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics [formerly
Howmedica Osteonics]) in good anatomic position with no dislocation or
periprosthetic fracture present.

Fig. 8A —63-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma of
scapula. Lateral chest radiograph shows dislocation between intercalary (2)
and intramedullary (3) components of modular humeral implant (1) (Scapular
Implant, version 1.0, Modular Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics [formerly
Howmedica Osteonics]).

Fig. 9 —33-year-old man with right scapular chondrosarcoma after
resection and implant placement (Scapular Implant, version 2.0, Nonmodular
Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics [formerly Howmedica Osteonics]).
Anteroposterior radiograph shows dislocation of humeral head from scapular
glenoid.

Fig. 10A —56-year-old man with left scapular chondrosarcoma after
resection and implant placement. (Scapular Implant Version 2.0, Nonmodular
Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics [formerly Howmedica Osteonics]).
Anteroposterior chest radiograph shows scapular implant in good position
immediately after surgery. Also note that postsurgical shoulder lies slightly
more inferior in relation to unaffected side, normal postoperative positioning
due to small size of scapular implant.

Fig. 10B —56-year-old man with left scapular chondrosarcoma after
resection and implant placement. (Scapular Implant Version 2.0, Nonmodular
Humeral Implant; Stryker Orthopaedics [formerly Howmedica Osteonics]).
Anteroposterior chest radiograph 1 year after surgery shows increased axillary
soft-tissue density, with loss of muscle planes and scapular implant displaced
superiorly and laterally secondary to recurrent tumor. Note that postsurgical
shoulder now lies more superior in relation to unaffected limb due to upward
pressure from tumor recurrence.

Fig. 10C —56-year-old man with left scapular chondrosarcoma after

STIR image again shows recurrent tumor (black arrows) displacing
scapular prosthesis (white arrow) superolaterally.

STIR image highlights large, lobulated recurrent tumor (black arrows)
laterally displacing scapular implant (white arrow).

lymph node enlargement (arrow).

Fig. 11B —52-year-old man with right shoulder melanoma recurrence after
primary resection and prosthetic placement. Axial CT scan obtained 3 months
after A shows enlarged axillary lymph nodes (arrows), which
could represent reactive hyperplasia or recurrent melanoma below level of
scapular implant (curved arrow).
