The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of 3D-printed modular prostheses in patients who underwent joint-sparing limb salvage surgery (JSLSS) for malignant femoral diaphyseal bone tumours. We retrospectively reviewed 17 patients (13 males and four females) with femoral diaphyseal tumours who underwent JSLSS in our hospital.Aims
Methods
Dislocation of the hip remains a major complication after periacetabular tumour resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction. The position of the acetabular component is an important modifiable factor for surgeons in determining the risk of postoperative dislocation. We investigated the significance of horizontal, vertical, and sagittal displacement of the hip centre of rotation (COR) on postoperative dislocation using a CT-based 3D model, as well as other potential risk factors for dislocation. A total of 122 patients who underwent reconstruction following resection of periacetabular tumour between January 2011 and January 2020 were studied. The risk factors for dislocation were investigated with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis on patient-specific, resection-specific, and reconstruction-specific variables.Aims
Methods
Pelvic reconstruction after the resection of a tumour around
the acetabulum is a challenging procedure due to the complex anatomy
and biomechanics. Several pelvic endoprostheses have been introduced,
but the rates of complication remain high. Our aim was to review
the use of a stemmed acetabular pedestal cup in the management of
these patients. The study involved 48 patients who underwent periacetabular reconstruction
using a stemmed pedestal cup (Schoellner cup; Zimmer Biomet Inc.,
Warsaw, Indiana) between 2000 and 2013. The indications for treatment included
a primary bone tumour in 27 patients and metastatic disease in 21
patients. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was
52 years (16 to 83).Aims
