[Reconstruction of a complex defect of the upper third of the humerus by pedicle transplant of the lateral edge of the scapula. A case report].
Vascularized bone transfer of the lateral border of the scapula is exceptionally used in orthopaedic surgery. The authors report a case of pedicle transfer of the lateral border of the scapula designed to reconstruct a nine centimetre bone defect of the upper third of the humerus following a gunshot wound. A complementary conventional bone graft was performed one month later and consolidation was achieved at the fourth month.
