An email from the surgeon stated - m/48 with left proximal humerus dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma.Wide resection of left proximal humerus was performed on (b)(6) 2021.Reconstruction with bayley walker reverse shoulder prosthesis.Tumour tube used for soft tissue repair.Bone-implant junction at humerus augmented with small plate + dallmile cable.Postop implant stable and recovery uneventful, proceeded with adjuvant chemo.He noted left shoulder crepitus sensation and sound in (b)(6) 2021 after taking a break from physiotherapy in (b)(6) 2021.There was no pain or swelling.He had no preceding injury.Left shoulder range of motion: abduction 90 deg, external rotation & internal rotation 40 deg.Screening under image intensifier showed loosening of the humeral component-shaft interface of the humerus prosthesis.It was distractible with gravity or weak distraction force and reducible with axial load c-reactive protein level was normal.Although the condition is not painful, the patient is not able to use his left upper limb well currently and would like to have this issue fixed.Update 30 sep 2021: "we had a call with the surgeon and i can confirm that the shaft has dissociated from the humeral body at the taper junction".
