Distraction osteogenesis and arthrodesis as a new surgical option for chondrosarcoma in the distal tibia

چکیده
Recent advances in the management of bone tumors have led to a significant increase in the survival rates of patients with malignant bone tumors. Thus, limb salvage surgery has gained importance for preserving limb function in the management of bone tumors. However, surgery presents unique difficulties in terms of the biomechanics and obtaining a soft-tissue cover, such as when the ankle is involved in the primary malignant bone tumor. We report a case of chondrosarcoma of the distal tibia treated with wide en bloc resection arthrodesis and reconstruction of the defect using distraction osteogenesis, which offers an effective alternative protocol for limb salvage. The patient has remained disease free for 3 years since the initial surgery and can maintain normal limb athletic function.

Distraction osteogenesis as a salvage method in infected knee megaprostheses.
Infection of total knee replacement represents a severe complication. Especially in cases of infected megaprostheses, treatment options are limited and even amputation may become unavoidable. We present two cases of infected knee hinged megaprostheses. Both were treated by prosthesis removal and debridement of all surrounding infected bone and soft tissue, followed by distraction osteogenesis f...

Under the effective chemotherapy protocol, physeal distraction could be used as an effective limb salvage in the growing children with lower-limb malignant metaphyseal bone tumours and could actively prevent leg length discrepancy or malalignment that profoundly affects function. In this paper, we report a 7-year-old boy with right distal tibial osteosarcoma but not yet invaded the epiphysis, w...

We report the results of distraction osteogenesis (callotasis) for the reconstruction of extensive defects after the excision of skeletal tumours in the limbs. Bone transport was performed in ten patients (five osteosarcomas and five giant-cell tumours), shortening-distraction in three (two osteosarcomas and one Ewing's sarcoma), and distraction osteogenesis combined with an intramedullary nail...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reliability of vascularized fibula transfer in maintaining arthrodesis following wide excision of malignant tumors located at the metaphyseal ends of long bones. METHODS Fourteen patients underwent wide extra-articular excisions followed by arthrodesis with vascularized fibula and its variants at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, University of Ha...

AIM To investigate the effects of radiotherapy on distraction osteogenesis performed on the same bone in an area that has not received radiation. Radiotherapy (Co60) was carried out in a region where tumors may develop, and then, on the assumption that the tumoral region had been removed, distraction osteogenesis was carried out, and the effects were investigated. METHOD Thirty New Zealand ra...
