Aims. Time to treatment initiation (TTI) is generally defined as the time from the histological diagnosis of malignancy to the initiation of first definitive treatment. There is no consensus on the impact of TTI on the overall survival in patients with a soft-tissue
We identified 42 patients who presented to our unit over a 27-year period with a secondary radiation-induced
We report our experience of using a computer
navigation system to aid resection of malignant musculoskeletal tumours
of the pelvis and limbs and, where appropriate, their subsequent
reconstruction. We also highlight circumstances in which navigation
should be used with caution. We resected a musculoskeletal tumour from 18 patients (15 male,
three female, mean age of 30 years (13 to 75) using commercially
available computer navigation software (Orthomap 3D) and assessed
its impact on the accuracy of our surgery. Of nine pelvic tumours,
three had a biological reconstruction with extracorporeal irradiation,
four underwent endoprosthetic replacement (EPR) and two required
no bony reconstruction. There were eight tumours of the bones of
the limbs. Four diaphyseal tumours underwent biological reconstruction.
