ABSTRACT
The indications and techniques of scapulectomy have been well described in the literature but little has been reported on the objective functional outcome. We present a series of 4 patients who had total or subtotal scapulectomy for neoplasms of the scapula. The shoulder function was evaluated using the Constant Functional Scoring system. Three of 4 patients scored excellent with no impairment of daily living activities. Preservation of the glenoid was associated with best results. The use of Constant shoulder score is a valuable tool in assessing the functional outcome following scapulectomy
