Any one have had a humerus replacement?

I am looking for anyone that has had a humerus replacement along with a reverse total shoulder revision/replacement. I recently (12/14/23) had to have this surgery, but can't find anyone else that's also had this done. I'd like to connect with someone to bounce questions off of.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

Hello @bionicwoman, I'd like to invite @rainerhans, @loreleiks, @momsys, and @elainepow1 to this discussion as they have all recently discussed reverse shoulder replacements on Connect.

@bionicwoman, when you say humerus replacement, are you saying that you had then entire humerus replaced, or was it fixed alongside your shoulder replacement?

My humerus was replaced due to non union fracture after an osteotomy in Nov. 9, 2022. My humerus has been replaced with full metal half of my arm and the rest by a rod that goes almost to my elbow for stabilization.
