Limb conservation in primary bone tumours by resection, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
En-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation of the irradiated bone have been used to treat 15 patients suffering from primary malignant tumours of bone or cartilage and two with benign lesions. This treatment is an alternative to replacement by prosthesis or allograft bridging techniques. After a mean follow-up of over five years results are encouraging, despite some complications and the relatively long period before weight-bearing is allowed.

En-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation, and re-implantation in limb salvage for bony malignancies.
We treated 50 patients with bony malignancy by en-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation with 50 Gy and re-implantation of the bone segment. The mean survivor follow-up was 38 months (12 to 92) when 42 patients were alive and without disease. There were four recurrences. The functional results were good according to the Mankin score (17 excellent, 13 good, nine fair, three failures), the Mu...

Between 1996 and 2003, 16 patients (nine female, seven male) were treated for a primary bone sarcoma of the femur by wide local excision of the tumour, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation. An additional vascularised fibular graft was used in 13 patients (81%). All patients were free from disease when reviewed at a minimum of two years postoperatively (mean 49.7 months (24 to 96).

متن کاملA patient with scapular Ewing sarcoma; 5-year follow-up after extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation of the scapula, a case report
In 2007 a 9½-year-old boy was treated with resection, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation of the right scapula. He also received chemotherapy. During five year follow-up shoulder function remained largely intact. Subtotal resorption of the scapula occurred, leaving only the glenohumeral joint intact. Sensibility and strength are intact. To date there is no sign of local or metastatic...

We examined osteochondral autografts, obtained at a mean of 19.5 months (3 to 48) following extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation to replace bone defects after removal of tumours. The specimens were obtained from six patients (mean age 13.3 years (10 to 18)) and consisted of articular cartilage (five), subchondral bone (five), external callus (one) and tendon (one). The tumour cells in...
متن کاملIntraoperative Extracorporeal Irradiation for the Treatment of the Meningioma-Infiltrated Calvarium
Objectives Complete removal of infiltrated bone is required to achieve a Simpson Grade 1 meningioma resection. Reconstruction of the resulting bone defect is typically achieved with a nonnative implant that can result in poor cosmesis, foreign body reaction, or infection. Extracorporeal irradiation and reimplantation of tumorous bone has been used for limb-sparing surgery with excellent results...
