A partial scapula resection close to the acromion and coracoid process raises a question beyond the tumor itself: how much margin can be taken without compromising the bone segments the shoulder still needs to function.
This case combined a variable margin, 5 mm along the plane closest to the coracoid process, 10 mm along the two inferior cutting planes, through a posterior approach with a single cutting guide.
The guide's medial section wraps around the acromion in a hook shape, giving a secure grip on this narrow bone and guiding the saw blade precisely while resecting the coracoid base anteriorly.
Four K-wires hold it in place, two of them at the intersections of the three cutting planes.
This case was performed by Dr. Ahmad Shehadeh at King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), Amman, Jordan.
Five millimeters near the coracoid. Ten along the two inferior planes. The margin here was never one number: it was three separate decisions, each shaped by what that part of the bone still needed to do.
