Summary
This study introduces the "two-step shish kebab" technique for proximal humerus non-unions, avoiding tuberosity osteotomies during reverse shoulder arthroplasty for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Surgical neck non-unions of the proximal humerus are challenging to treat.
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is an emerging option, but avoiding tuberosity osteotomies is key for optimal results.
