We operated on 16 cases of malignant bone tumor of shoulder girdle. Upper extremity should be preserved in malignant tumor if main artery and nerves are not to invaded. We did reconstructive surgery using prosthesis of humeral head and scapula after wide resection.
After operation, survival period was 1 year and 10 months on a varage. Pain was relieved in all cases, range of motion at shoulder was very limited but not so much as to be inconvenient for daily living. Local recurrence was uncommon and appearance of the shoulder was good.
