Amputation has been the standard surgical treatment for distal tibia osteosarcoma. Advances in surgery and chemotherapy have made limb salvage possible. However, it is unclear whether offers any improvement function without compromising survival.We therefore compared survival, local recurrence, function, complications of patients with osteosarcoma treated or amputation.We retrospectively reviewed 42 from 1985 to 2010. Nineteen had amputations 23 allograft reconstructions. We graded histology...

Abstract Background Previous studies reported on surgical indications for patients with femoral metastases. However, few analyzed the spectrum of metastatic presentation. We performed this study to evaluate survival metastases, and clarify treatment impending actual pathological fractures. Materials Methods retrospectively studied 110 metastases from various cancers treated nailing or resection megaprosthetic reconstruction 1995 2010. The mean follow‐up was 18 months. Survival respect...

Atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas are low-grade malignant mesenchymal neoplasms with high propensity to local recurrence and potential dedifferentiate higher grades over time. However, the published risks of dedifferentiation vary, no unified treatment follow-up plan has been accepted. We performed a study evaluate long-term clinical behavior proper strategy for these tumors. retrospectively reviewed files 101 patients treated between 1990 2008 diagnosis atypical...

Background: Infection of megaprostheses after bone tumor resection is a major concern; management challenging. This study evaluated the survivability from such infections, microbial isolates, treatment tactics, and outcome megaprosthesis reconstructions. Materials Methods: We studied 1,161 patients retrospectively who underwent reconstruction for limb salvage sarcoma 1983 to 2010. The mean followup was 9 y (range 3–20 y). overall survival reconstructions in with infection respect type...

Ziel: Die Evaluierung der Effektivität und Komplikationsrate ultraschallgesteuerten Perforation Lavage mittels Zwei-Nadel-Technik (16 – 18 G) in Therapie kalzifizierenden Tendinopathie im Bereich Schulter, des Ellbogens, Hüfte Knies mithilfe eines radiologischen klinischen Follow-ups. Material Methoden: 40 Patienten (13 Männer, 27 Frauen; mittleres Alter, 53,5 Jahre) wurden untersucht, die einer symptomatischen Rotatorenmanschette, Trizepssehne, gemeinsame Streck- Beugesehnen am Ellbogen,...

Background: The aim of this study is to verify the existence different rates cancer incidence and mortality in males urban rural populations Umbria formulate hypotheses as why occurs. Methods: Directly age-adjusted (AAIR) death (AADR) were calculated for 1998-2002 expected number cases (standardized ratios-SIRs standardized ratios-SMRs) was determined by indirect standardization using mortality. Results: Urban zones have higher AAIR’s most common sites. Significantly lower SIRs, areas, shown...

Introduction . The management of pelvic tumors is a challenge for orthopaedic oncologists due to the complex anatomy pelvis and need have extensive exposure. Various reconstructive techniques been proposed with poor functional results high percentage complications. Our purpose determine rate complications iliac stem prosthesis acetabular defects following resections periacetabular tumors. Materials Methods Between 1999 2012, 45 patients underwent bone followed by reconstruction cup...

The aim of the present paper is to analyse mortality from external causes in Umbria region, 1994 2004, order have an indication effectiveness primary prevention interventions. Sex and cause-specific AADR (the age-adjusted death rates) YPLL rates years potential life lost up 74 yrs) time trends were analysed by means joinpoint regression utilising SEER software. expected annual percent change its significance also calculated. cause groups examined were: all causes, transport accidents, falls,...

The aim of the present paper was to analyse cancer mortality in Umbria region, from 1978 2004. Mortality trends depend on a number factors including exposures, health system interventions, and possibly artefact (e.g. classification change, variations data completeness). Descriptive only allow for generation hypotheses explain observed trends. Some clues respective role possible determinants may be found comparing with incidence survival data.Mortality periods 1978-1993 1994-2004 were...

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy, while they remain an essential part of the multidisciplinary treatment cancers, have led to unwanted complications. Radiation-induced complications include wound bone, growth, nervous system, tumorigenic, lung, gastrointestinal, hepatic other In this article we review side effects radiation in musculoskeletal oncology emphasizing on present our long experience, discuss current literature regarding radiation-induced bone their management outcome.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the middle term cup survival, assess functional implementation and radiographic evolution tantalum acetabular cups implanted on patients with a history pelvic radiotherapy.From 2005 2013, we performed 12 THA replacements (4 males 8 females; mean age: 46.6 years (range 25-75)) irradiated bone Trabecular metal cups, primary implants 4 revision implants. radiation dose delivered 5500 cGy 3000 cGy-13,600 cGy). follow-up 68 months, ranging from 38 136....

Many studies have reported increasing incidence rates of cutaneous melanoma during the last 30-40 years; highest been observed in Australia and New Zealand (27.9/100,000 among males 25.0 females) North America (10.9/100,000 7.7 females). In Italy, from 1994-1998, areas covered by cancer registries (23% Italian population), rate for was 8.5 females, 1.9/100,000. The aim present study to describe incidence, mortality survival Umbrian population periods 1978-1982 1994-1998.
