چکیده
OBJECTIVES Evaluate the functional grade of these patients and to identify the types of complications found that influenced the average life span of endoprostheses the functions of the operated limb. METHODS We analyzed 14 post-operative cases of endoprosthesis, patients with malignant bone tumors and aggressive benign bone tumors submitted to surgery between 2004 and 2014. The evaluation system used was proposed by Enneking, recommended by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS), in addition to the radiologic evaluation. RESULTS Endoprosthesis are excellent choices for the treatment of bone tumors with limb preservation in relation to pain, strength, and patient's emotional acceptance. Another factor for good results is the immediate weight-bearing capacity, generating a greater independence. CONCLUSION The authors conclude that all patients classified the therapy as excellent/good, regardless of the type of prosthesis used, extent of injury, and/or type of tumor resection performed.

Primary, highly-malignant bone tumors account for approximately 7% of all tumors among individuals younger than 20 years old. The osteosarcoma is the most common tumor in that age group, occurring at an 8.7 cases: 1 million ratio, followed by Ewing’s sarcoma, in 2.9 cases: 1 million(1,2). These tumors preferably affect the appendicular skeleton. In 75% of the cases, it predominantly affects lon...

UNLABELLED We evaluated functional outcomes for patients who underwent surgery for resection and endoprosthesis replacement for primary tumours around the knee. We used the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Scoring System (MSTS) for functional evaluations to compare differences between distal femur (DF) and proximal tibia (PT) placements. The study sample included 34 cases of distal femur and 20 c...

The functional and oncologic results of eighteen patients with primary malignant periacetabular tumors were reviewed to determine the impact of surgical treatment. The reconstruction procedures were endoprosthesis (11), hip transposition (4), iliofemoral arthrodesis (2), and frozen bone autograft (1). After a mean follow-up of 62 months, 13 patients were alive and 5 had died of their disease; t...
