Custom-made endoprostheses for the femoral amputation stump: an alternative to hip disarticulation in tumour surgery.
Disarticulation of the hip in patients with high-grade tumours in the upper thigh results in significant morbidity. In patients with no disease of the proximal soft tissue a femoral stump may be preserved, leaving a fulcrum for movement and weight-bearing. We reviewed nine patients in whom the oncological decision would normally be to disarticulate, but who were treated by implantation of an en...
متن کاملSerial Femoral Fractures in An Amputation Stump: A Case Report
We report a case of an above-knee amputee who underwent dynamic hip screw fixation for a proximal femoral fracture and then open reduction and internal fixation a few years later for a further femoral fracture in the same stump. The patient had a good outcome. We aim to discuss the challenges in decision making, surgical technique and potential complications for the patient.
متن کاملCemented Distal Femoral Endoprostheses for Musculoskeletal Tumor: Improved Survival of Modular versus Custom Implants
BACKGROUND Advocates of newer implant designs cite high rates of aseptic loosening and failure as reasons to abandon traditional cemented endoprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether newer, modular distal femoral components had improved survivorship compared with older, custom-casted designs. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 254 pati...

متن کاملAmputation neuroma of the cystic-duct stump.
A. KERR GRANT, T. M. ALDOR, E. CURTIN, W. K. NOLAN The Lopresti fiberoptic oesophagoscope was described. The advantages of the instrument were its relative comfort to the patient, the ease of passage, the excellent magnified image of the oesophagus, and the avoidance of a general anaesthetic. Early experience and diagnosis had proved successful in the demonstration of oesophagitis, carcinoma, s...
