title: Interscapulothoracic resection. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: There is a trend away from amputation for limb cancer; salvage procedures are becoming more widespread. We describe one case of interscapulothoracic resection of the shoulder and discuss methods of maximising the residual function of the arm. The procedure is recommended for patients with the correct indications.
