Abstract

Few papers have been published in the international literature on reconstruction of the shape of the shoulder stump after scapulothoracic amputation. The authors report a case of reconstruction using a solid silicone implant after prior skin expansion. The essential objective of this reconstruction is to eliminate the need for an external prosthesis, which constitutes a major handicap for these patients.
