Abstract
• The Tikhoff-Linberg operation is a limb salvage technique that permits interscapulothoracic resection of malignant neoplasms of the shoulder with preservation of neuromuscular function of the upper extremity. A metallic interpositional device can be used to fix the humerus to the second rib, thus increasing stability and function. This device was used in a patient with a proximal humeral osteosarcoma who was also treated with radiation and chemotherapy and who now has reasonably good extremity function and is free of tumor at one year postoperatively.
