[Tikhoff-Linberg scapulo-humeral resection].
There is a trend away from amputation to salvage procedures for limb cancer. An effective adjuvant chemotherapy and the development of diagnostic imaging allow the surgeon to be more confident and conservative with a limb-salvage procedure. The Tikhoff-Linberg resection is a limb-sparing option to be considered for tumors of the proximal humerus and shoulder girdle. There are three different variants of the procedure published in the literature. An exact classification of the local extent of disease is necessary to indicate the variant of Tikhoff-Linberg resection which will promise the best functional result without loss of oncological adequacy.
