[Reconstruction of a Complex Defect of the Upper Third of the Humerus by Pedicle Transplant of the Lateral Edge of the Scapula. A Case Report]

Vascularized bone transfer of the lateral border of the scapula is exceptionally used in orthopaedic surgery. The authors report a case of pedicle transfer of the lateral border of the scapula designed to reconstruct a nine centimetre bone defect of the upper third of the humerus following a gunshot wound. A complementary conventional bone graft was performed one month later and consolidation was achieved at the fourth month.
