Functional results after oncological scapula resections

The resection of scapular tumors may lead to a significant functional disability of the shoulder girdle and the affected arm in many cases. However, this is represented neither in the MSTS- or TESS-score nor in the overall acceptance of the patients. Only one patient, an artisan, had to change his job. In total, the clinical results are quite good in short- as well as in long-term follow-up. The score results were comparable to other studies.
