Modular megaprostheses are now the most common method of reconstruction after segmental resection long bones in lower extremities. Previous studies reported variable outcome and failure rates knee megaprosthetic reconstructions.The objectives this study were to analyze results a modular tumor prosthesis bone around with respect (1) survivorship; (2) rate; (3) comparative survivorship against different sites reconstructions primary revision implants; (4) functional on Musculoskeletal Tumor...
Abstract Introduction Aim of this study was to analyze (1) survival, local recurrence (LR), and metastasis rates between the three histological tumor grades; (2) whether type treatment site influenced prognosis for each histologic grade. Methods We retrospectively studied 296 patients with central conventional chondrosarcomas (CS) (87 grade 1, 162 2, 47 3). The femur most common (91 cases), followed by pelvis (82) other less frequent sites. Type surgery related Margins were wide in 222...
The treatment of choice in sacral chordoma is surgical resection, although the risk local recurrence and metastasis remains high. quality margins obtained at initial surgery primary factor to improve survival reducing recurrence, but proximal resections are associated with substantial perioperative morbidity.We considered survivorship related terms margins, level previous surgery.We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients chordomas treated resection. Thirty-seven were resected above S3 by a...
Surgical treatment of pelvic tumors with or without acetabular involvement is challenging. Primary goals surgery include local control and maintenance good quality life, but the procedures are marked by significant perioperative morbidity complications.We wished to (1) evaluate frequency infection after limb salvage surgical resection for bone in pelvis; (2) determine whether these resections associated particular risk factors, including reconstruction, radiotherapy chemotherapy, type...
Retrospectively analyze outcomes of current-generation Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS) modular tumor endoprosthesis for the lower limb in primary and secondary implantation procedures.Two hundred ninety five prostheses were implanted, 197 implants, 98 revision surgery; procedures included 84 failed reconstructions 14 non-tumor reconstructions. Anatomic sites included: distal femur 199; proximal tibia 60; 32;total 4. Endoprosthesis failures classified as soft-tissue (Type 1), aseptic...
The best treatment of sacral chordoma is surgical resection, nowadays associated with optimized radiation therapy. We analysed 1) the oncologic outcome in a large series; 2) effect previous intralesional surgery, resection level, tumor volume and margins on survivorship to local recurrence (LR) 3) complication rate.We reviewed 71 patients chordomas. Forty-eight resections were proximal S3. Mean was 535 cm3. Eleven received surgery elsewhere. Margins wide 44 resections, wide-contaminated 11,...
Identifying sex-related differences/variables associated with 30 day/1 year mortality in patients chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries collect operated on for CLTI 2019. Acute lower-limb and neuropathic-diabetic foot are not included.One year. Data demographics/comorbidities, treatments/outcomes, were investigated.Information 2399 cases (69.8% men) from 36/143 (25.2%) centers. Median...
Abstract Background Previous studies reported variable outcome of proximal tibial resections and reconstructions. Therefore, we evaluated the survival, Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) function, complications patients reconstructions in this location. Materials Methods We reviewed files 225 with tumors treated resection, fixed or rotating hinge megaprosthetic reconstruction extensor mechanism reattachment using sutures, mechanical clamping, artificial ligaments, and/or gastrocnemius flap...
Studies for patients with pelvic chondrosarcomas are limited. This study determines the outcome of chondrosarcomas, and whether there is any association tumors' grade, type, stage, margins location.We retrospectively studied 215 chondrosarcomas. All had biopsy histological diagnosis their tumors followed by limb salvage or amputation. We staged using Musculoskeletal Tumor Society system. performed a univariate multivariate analysis survival to death, local recurrence metastasis respect type...
