Abstract
We retrospectively studied 14 patients with proximal and diaphyseal tumours and disappearing bone (Gorham's) disease of the humerus treated with wide resection and reconstruction using an allograft-resurfacing composite (ARC). There were ten women and four men, with a mean age of 35 years (8 to 69)....

Bone-remodeling, assessed on X-ray, was without clinical impact, whether it took the form of spongialization or stress-shielding. The sole factor tending to induce stress-shielding was a high degree of canal filling by the distal third of the stem, more frequently encountered with the MK3 model. Met...
