Aims. The aims of this retrospective study were to report the feasibility
of using 3D-printing technology for patients with a pelvic tumour
who underwent reconstruction. Patients and Methods. A total of 35 patients underwent

Aims. The optimal procedure for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of anterior cervical ossified posterior longitudinal ligament en bloc
Objectives. To assess the accuracy of patient-specific instruments (PSIs) versus standard manual technique and the precision of computer-assisted planning and PSI-guided osteotomies in pelvic tumour
Objectives. Our objective was to predict the knee extension strength and post-operative function in quadriceps
Aims. The purpose of this study was to report the long-term results of extendable endoprostheses of the humerus in children after the
The standard of surgical treatment for lower limb neoplasms had been characterized by highly interventional techniques, leading to severe kinetic impairment of the patients and incidences of phantom pain. Rotationplasty had arisen as a potent limb salvage treatment option for young cancer patients with lower limb bone tumours, but its impact on the gait through comparative studies still remains unclear several years after the introduction of the procedure. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of rotationplasty on gait parameters measured by gait analysis compared to healthy individuals. The MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched without time restriction until 10 January 2022 for eligible studies. Gait parameters measured by gait analysis were the outcomes of interest.Aims

Aims. The aims of this study were to analyse the long-term outcome
of vascularised fibular graft (VFG) reconstruction after tumour
resection and to evaluate the usefulness of the method. . Patients and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 49 patients who had undergone resection
of a sarcoma and reconstruction using a VFG between 1988 and 2015.
Their mean follow-up was 98 months (5 to 317). Reconstruction was

Excision of a physeal bar and filling the space with interposition material may allow resumption of normal growth. Both the extent and the location of the bar and the amount of growth remaining from physis must be determined. Computer-assisted surgery is being used increasingly in various fields of orthopaedics. We describe the management of a patient with premature physeal arrest of the right distal tibia in which
Obtaining a balanced flexion gap with correct
femoral component rotation is one of the prerequisites for a successful
outcome after total knee replacement (TKR). Different techniques
for achieving this have been described. In this study we prospectively
compared gap-balancing versus measured resection
in terms of reliability and accuracy for femoral component rotation
in 96 primary TKRs performed in 96 patients using the Journey system.
In 48 patients (18 men and 30 women) with a mean age of 65 years
(45 to 85) a tensor device was used to determine rotation. In the
second group of 48 patients (14 men and 34 women) with a mean age
of 64 years (41 to 86), an ‘adapted’ measured
