Aim

The aim of this study was to analyze our results using a modular endoprosthetic replacement system (MUTARS) for bone tumours of the proximal humerus.

Methods

Thirty-nine patients were treated with a MUTARS endoprosthesis of the proximal humerus. Mean follow-up was 38 months (3-138 months). Most operations were necessitated by metastasis (n=30); surgery for a primary tumour (n=9) was less frequent. The Enneking score and the active ranges of motion for shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation were recorded. Complete refixation of the rotator cuff was possible in 23 cases. Radiographs also were obtained.
