[Resection en bloc of the scapulohumeral joint and the upper end of the humerus for tumour (author's transl)].
The technique of Tikhor-Linberg is described by the authors. It is a limited resection of the upper end of the humerus and the glenoid cavity, the rotator cuff and the deltoid. It is particularly useful in tumours such as chondrosarcoma. Operation is completed by reconstruction using a fibular graft which allows some limited function of the shoulder.
