The aim of this study was to assess a specific
protocol for the treatment of patients with a parosteal osteosarcoma of
the distal femur with limb salvage involving hemicortical resection
and reconstruction using recycled pasteurised autograft and internal
fixation. Between January 2000 and January 2010, 13 patients with
a mean age of 26.5 years (17 to 39) underwent this procedure. All
the tumours were staged according to Enneking’s criteria: there
were eight stage IA tumours and five stage IB tumours. The mean
follow-up was 101.6 months (58 to 142), and mean post-operative
Musculoskeletal Tumour Society functional score was 88.6% (80% to
100%) at the final follow-up. All the patients had achieved bony
union; the mean time to union was 11.2 months (6 to 18). Local recurrence
occurred in one patient 27 months post-operatively. No patient had
a pulmonary metastasis. A hemicortical procedure for the treatment of a parosteal osteosarcoma
is safe and effective. Precise pre-operative planning using MRI
is essential in order to define the margins of

Aims. Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive lesion that is difficult to treat as salvaging the joint can be associated with a high rate of local recurrence (LR). We evaluated the risk factors for tumour relapse after treatment of a GCTB of the limbs. Methods. A total of 354 consecutive patients with a GCTB underwent joint salvage by curettage and reconstruction with bone graft and/or cement or en bloc
Aims. The scapula is a rare site for a primary bone tumour. Only a small number of series have studied patient outcomes after treatment. Previous studies have shown a high rate of recurrence, with functional outcomes determined by the preservation of the glenohumeral joint and deltoid. The purpose of the current study was to report the outcome of patients who had undergone tumour

Aims. The aim of this paper was to investigate the prognostic factors for local recurrence in patients with pathological fracture through giant cell tumours of bone (GCTB). Patients and Methods. A total of 107 patients presenting with fractures through GCTB treated at our institution (Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, United Kingdom) between 1995 and 2016 were retrospectively studied. Of these patients, 57 were female (53%) and 50 were male (47%).The mean age at diagnosis was 33 years (14 to 86). A univariate analysis was performed, followed by multivariate analysis to identify risk factors based on the treatment and clinical characteristics. Results. The initial surgical treatment was curettage with or without adjuvants in 55 patients (51%), en bloc
