Intercalary prosthetic reconstruction for a pathologic fracture of the left humeral shaft in patient 59, a 76-year-old male. a Anteroposterior radiograph of the left humerus showed osteolytic destruction in the middle 1/3 of the humerus. b The metastatic lesion of lung carcinoma was enlarged despite 3 months of conservative treatment. c The incision was made proximally through a deltopectoral approach and distally on the arm over the medial border of the biceps muscle. d, e Intraoperative photos show that the lesion was resected widely. f, g Intraoperative photos show the custom-made prosthesis. h Postoperative X-ray images show that the prosthesis is in a good position
