[Implantation of an inverse prosthesis after management of an infected subcapital humerus fracture initially treated with osteosynthesis].
After repeated failure of osteosynthesis of a subcapital humerus fracture, the humeral joint got infected. Radical surgery, use of a temporary Palacos-Refobacin spacer, and secondary implantation of an inverse prosthesis achieved painlessness and satisfying functional results.
