Non-Vascularized Fibular Autograft for Two-Stage Scapulohumeral Arthrodesis in Ballistic Shoulder Injuries: A Case Series and Review
Two-stage SHA using a non-vascularized fibular autograft may represent a viable treatment option for proximal humeral ballistic trauma with extensive bone and soft tissue damage, particularly in settings where microsurgical expertise is not available. Despite the encouraging early outcomes observed in this small series, further prospective studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are needed to validate this approach and assess its long-term efficacy and safety.
