Intercalary endoprosthetic reconstruction for diaphyseal bone tumours.
Custom-made intercalary endoprostheses may be used for the reconstruction of diaphyseal defects following the resection of bone tumours. The aim of this study was to determine the survival of intercalary endoprostheses with a lap joint design, and to evaluate the clinical results, complications and functional outcome. We retrospectively reviewed six consecutive patients, three of whom underwent...
متن کاملThe cost-effectiveness of limb salvage for bone tumours.
The use of endoprostheses for limb salvage in primary bone tumours is highly specialised. Studies have shown no significant difference in survival, function or quality of life between patients with limb salvage and those with amputation. We have derived a formula for calculating the ongoing costs of limb salvage with an endoprosthesis which is based on actual costs and uses historical data to s...
متن کاملThe outcome and functional results of diaphyseal endoprostheses after tumour excision.
Improvement in the life expectancy of patients with primary bone tumours has led to increased emphasis on limb salvage and preservation of function. Between 1979 and 1994 we used custom-made endoprostheses in 18 patients to reconstruct diaphyseal defects after excision of primary bone tumours. The mean age at operation was 26 years (9 to 64) and the median follow-up 65 months (6 to 188). Fiftee...
متن کاملCemented versus cementless endoprostheses for lower limb salvage surgery.
PURPOSE To determine the survival and failures of cemented vs cementless endoprostheses. METHODS We retrospectively studied 232 patients treated with lower limb salvage surgery and reconstruction using cementless and cemented endoprostheses from 2002 to 2007. We compared survival and failures of the endoprostheses regarding age, gender, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, site of reconstruction...
متن کاملLower limb salvage surgery with MUTARS endoprostheses: 2 to 7 year results.
The reconstruction of bone defects remains a challenge in orthopaedic oncology. Allogenic and autologous bone grafts, as well as megaprostheses are well-recognised methods for bone reconstruction. Modular, both cemented and cementless, endoprosthetic systems have become more popular to bridge defects of different sizes. The clinical and radiological results of 50 consecutive patients treated wi...
