Purpose: Aneurysmal
Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence, recurrence rate and disease-free interval of aneurysmal and juvenile bone. Methods: A analysis of 141 cases of cystic bone lesions recorded in the Vienna Bone Tumor Registry between 1970 and 2000 was performed. 73 aneurysmal and 68 juvenile
Aim: To evaluate the role of selective arterial embolization of Aneurysmal
The nature of the Aneurysmal
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine factors predictive of tumour recurrence, or refracture, following curettage as treatment for pathological fracture of the proximal humerus through a benign bone lesion. Methods: From a cohort of patients held on a national database the factors predictive of recurrence following surgical curettage in patients with pathological fractures through benign bone tumours of the proximal humerus were examined. Thirty nine cases were identified. The diagnosis was simple
Unicameral
We report a case of an aneurysmal cyst localized in the patella of a 37-year-old man. The lesion was secondary to a chondroblastoma at six years follow-up after initial curettage and bone graft. It were no recurrence. Treatment of aneurysmal cysts depends on the degree of articular involvement. We made a detailed study of 11 cases of this rare localization of aneurysmal cysts reported in the literature.
Abstract. Background. Benign osteolytic lesions of bone represent a diverse group of pathological and clinical entities. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of intraoperative endoscopic assessment of intramedullary osteolytic lesions in view of the rate of complications during the postoperative follow up period. Methods. 69 patients (median age 27 years) with benign osteolytic lesion had been prospectively followed up from December 2017 to December 2018 in a university hospital in Cairo, Egypt and in a level-1 trauma center in United Kingdom. All patients had been treated by curettage with the aid of endoscopy through a standard incision and 2 portals. Histological analysis was confirmed from intraoperative samples analysis. All patients had received bone allografts from different donor sites (iliac crest, fibula, olecranon, etc). None of them received chemo or radiotherapy. Results. Most of lesions were enchondroma (n=29), followed by Aneurysmal
Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcomes of revision ankle replacements, using the Invision implant and impaction allograft for massive talar dome defects following primary ankle replacement failure. Outcomes were assessed in terms of bone graft incorporation; improvement in patient reported outcome measures (PROMs); and survivorship of the revision ankle arthroplasty. Methods. A retrospective review of prospectively collected data identified eleven patients who had massive
Abstract. Background. Schwannomas are slow-growing, benign tumours normally originating from the Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Intraosseous schwannoma accounts for 0.175% of primary bone tumours and extremely rare especially outside the axial skeleton. Monoclonal gammopathy has been associated with soft tissue schwannomas but never with the intraosseous variety. Presenting problem. A 55-year-old woman with a background of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) presented with a 2-year history of right thigh pain. CT scan showed a well defined, lytic lesion with a thin peripheral rim of sclerosis in the midshaft of the femur. MRI displayed a hyperintense, well marginated and homogenous lesion. Definitive diagnosis was made based on the classical histopathological appearance of schwannoma. Clinical management. We managed our patient with local curettage and prophylactic cephalomedullary nailing on the basis of a high mirel score. Discussion. Intraosseous schwannomas are poorly understood but most commonly reported in middle-aged women. Radiologically, their differential diagnosis includes malignant bone tumours, solitary
Spinal surgery deals with the treatment of different pathological conditions of the spine such as tumors, deformities, degenerative disease, infections and traumas. Research in the field of vertebral surgery can be divided into two main areas: 1) research lines transversal to the different branches; 2) specific research lines for the different branches. The transversal lines of research are represented by strategies for the reduction of complications, by the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, by the development of surgical navigation systems and by the development of increasingly reliable systems for the control of intra-operative monitoring. Instead, specific lines of research are developed within the different branches. In the field of oncological pathology, the current research concerns the development of in vitro models for the study of metastases and research for the study of targeted treatment methods such as electrochemotherapy and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of aneurysmal
Introduction. Hip arthrodiastasis for paediatric hip conditions such as Perthes disease is growing in popularity. Intended merits include halting the collapse of the femoral head and maintaining sphericity by minimising the joint reaction force. This can also be applied to protecting hip reconstruction following treatment of hip dysplasia. Our aim was to assess functional outcomes and complications in a cohort of paediatric patients. Materials and Methods. A retrospective single-surgeon cohort study was performed in a University teaching hospital from 2018–2021. Follow-up was performed via telephone interview and review of patient records. Complications, time in frame and functional scores using the WOMAC hip score were recorded. Results. Following review, 26 procedures were identified in 24 patients. Indications included 16 cases of Perthes disease, 4 following slipper upper femoral epiphysis, 3 avascular necrosis, and single cases following infection, dysplasia and a
