Symptomatic proximal humeral fracture sequelae (PHFS) represent a surgical challenge due to the altered bone and soft tissue morphology. The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of Multiplanar Corrective Humeral Osteotomies (MCHOs) in combination with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) performed following a three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning and using a 3D-printed patient-specific surgical instrumentation (PSI) in type 1C, 1D, and 4 PHFS.
