ABSTRACT
Humeral cement removal in revision shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging. Secondary damage to the bone and neighbouring structures can be extensive and compromise later reconstruction. We present a technique that employs flexible reamers from elbow arthroplasty instrumentation, which aids cement removal at the same time as minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury.
