In Episode 38, we discussed reconstructive options for the lower extremity. Similar considerations exist for the upper extremity. The upper extremity, although not used for weight bearing and ambulation, is very important for human activities of daily living. In this episode we discuss the challenges and considerations for reconstructing tumors of the upper extremity.
