Endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal tibia.
We have performed endoprosthetic replacement after resection of tumours of the proximal tibia on 151 patients over a period of 20 years. During this period limb-salvage surgery was achieved in 88% of patients with tumours of the proximal tibia. Both the implant and the operative technique have been gradually modified in order to reduce complications. An initial rate of infection of 36% has been...
متن کاملReconstruction of the extensor mechanism after proximal tibia endoprosthetic replacement.
The proximal tibia is a difficult area in which to perform a wide resection of a bone tumor. This difficulty is due to the intimate relationship of tumor in this location to the nerves and blood vessels of the leg, inadequate soft tissue coverage after endoprosthetic reconstruction, and the need to reconstruct the extensor mechanism. Competence of the extensor mechanism is the major determinant...
متن کاملThe long-term results of endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal tibia for bone tumours.
We have investigated whether improvements in design have altered the outcome for patients undergoing endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal tibia following resection of a tumour. Survival of the implant and 'servicing' procedures have been documented using a prospective database. A total of 194 patients underwent a proximal tibial replacement, with 95 having a fixed-hinge design and 99 a ro...
متن کاملEndoprosthetic replacement for giant cell tumour of the proximal femur.
PURPOSE To evaluate the functional and oncological outcomes of 12 patients with giant cell tumour (GCT) of the proximal femur treated with customized endoprosthesis. METHODS Nine men and 3 women aged 26 to 52 (mean, 36) years with Campanacci stage-III GCTs of the proximal femur were included. All underwent a wide excision of the tumour with clear margins and replacement using a customized, bi...
متن کاملModular endoprosthetic replacement for metastatic tumours of the proximal femur
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoprosthetic replacements of the proximal femur are commonly required to treat destructive metastases with either impending or actual pathological fractures at this site. Modular prostheses provide an off the shelf availability and can be adapted to most reconstructive situations for proximal femoral replacements. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and functi...
