Reconstruction after intercalary resection of malignant bone tumours: comparison between segmental allograft and extracorporeally-irradiated autograft.

چکیده
We reviewed 29 patients who had undergone intercalary resection for malignant tumours. Of these, 14 had received segmental allograft reconstruction and 15 extracorporeally-irradiated autograft. At a mean follow-up of 71 months (24 to 132), 20 were free from disease, five had died and four were alive with pulmonary metastases. Two patients, one with an allograft and one with an irradiated autograft, had a local recurrence. Reconstruction with extracorporeally-irradiated autograft has a significantly lower rate of nonunion (7% vs 43%, p = 0.031) but an insignificantly higher rate of fracture (20% vs 14%, p = 0.535) than that with segmental allograft. Using the Enneking functional evaluation system, the mean postoperative score for the patients without local recurrence was 87% (80% to 96%) and was similar in both groups. Extracorporeally-irradiated autograft could be an acceptable alternative for reconstruction after intercalary resection, especially in countries where it is difficult to obtain allografts.

Intercalary segmental reconstruction after bone tumor resection.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Intercalary resection can be used for primary as well as metastatic tumors. Reconstruction options include vascularized fibula graft, interposition of an allograft, combination of vascularized fibula and allograft, segmental prosthesis, insertion of an extracorporally irradiated autograft, segmental transportation, either with external fixation or by using an intramedullary rod,...
متن کاملIntercalary defects reconstruction of the femur and tibia after primary malignant bone tumour resection. A series of 13 cases.
INTRODUCTION Performing intercalary segment reconstruction after malignant bone tumour resection results in both mechanical and biological challenges. Fixation must be solid enough to avoid short-term or mid-term mechanical failure. The use of an allograft or autograft must ensure long-term survival of the reconstruction. The goal of this study was to analyse the clinical and radiological outco...
متن کاملReconstruction of periacetabular bone tumor by vascularized fibula graft and irradiated autograft.
BACKGROUND Periacetabular reconstruction following malignant bone tumor resection for limb saving is extremely challenging. We attempted a new reconstruction method in two patients by combining a free vascularized fibula graft with an extracorporeally irradiated autograft. PATIENTS A 14-year-old boy with osteosarcoma and a 44-year-old man with chondrosarcoma were treated with wide excision of...

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of bone. The oncologic surgery of a proximal femur osteosarcoma affecting the hip joint can be very challenging. We present an 8-year-old boy with a 5-month history of right hip pain. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lytic lesion of the proximal femur extending 13 cm to the diaphysis. Histological evaluation was c...
