Uncemented Customized Hollow Stems in Tumor Endoprosthetic Replacement-A Good Opportunity to Protect the Adjacent Joint in Children?

This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the follow-up results of cases in which the adjacent joint was preserved using a custom-made uncemented short-stem design (hollow stem) with optional external flanches in tumor endoprosthetic replacement due to bone sarcomas in 13 patients (with an average age of 9.6 years) between 2017 and 2023. Reconstructions were proximal femur ( = 6), intercalary femur ( = 4), intercalary tibia ( = 2), and proximal humerus ( = 1) tumor prostheses.

Painless Growing Swelling on the Palm of a 4-year-old Boy: Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor.

In this study, we present a 4-year-old male patient with a slowly growing painless mass in the palm of his left hand for 2 years. Although musculoskeletal tumors are rare, hand localized tumors are even rarer in pediatric patients. The fact that very few (less than one in ten) tumors are malignant and there are dozens of subtypes, each with different treatment management, shows the importance of the management of these lesions.

A challenging case of an adamantinoma of fibula with soft tissue mass harboring distinct histopathology.

We present a case of adamantinoma that originated from the fibula and had a large soft tissue component measuring approximately 6 cm. Clinical, radiological, and pathological investigations initially suggested that the tumor might be a bone-invading synovial sarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, no other case of fibular adamantinoma with such a large soft tissue component has been reported in the literature.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis after tumor prosthesis implantation in a patient receiving chemotherapy.

While the usual etiology of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is idiopathic, there are many other factors that increase the predisposition to slippage. Chemotherapy can be one of them. In this article, we report a rare case of acute SCFE after tumor prosthesis implantation in a patient who received chemotherapy.

Cortical hypertrophy in intramuscular hemangioma mimicking bone tumor.

Although hemangiomas are the most common soft tissue tumors, intramuscular hemangiomas account for only 0.8% of all vascular tumors. These lesions are rarely located adjacent to the bone and cause changes in the adjacent bone.

Expandable endoprostheses in skeletally immature patients: Where we are.

Approximately 45 percent of malignant bone tumors are seen under the age of 16 and one of the important results of growth plate sacrification in patients with immature skeletons is limb inequality. Until the early 1990s, the treatment options for these patients were rotationplasty or amputation. Multimodal approaches that combine imaging, chemotherapy, and surgical techniques have enabled the development of limb-preserving methods with satisfactory results.

Indication and surgical approach for reconstruction with endoprosthesis in bone-associated soft tissue sarcomas: Appropriate case management is vital.

It is important for surgeons performing sarcoma surgery to know that bone resection and tumor prosthesis applications in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) have unique features in terms of indication, surgical approach and follow-up, in terms of the management of these cases. Some STS are associated with bone and major neurovascular structures. Bone-associated STS are generally relatively large and relatively deep-seated.

Cyclops syndrome following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Can relapse occur after surgery?

Symptomatic cyclops lesions are complications that can be seen at rates of up to approximately 10% after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, recurrent cyclops lesions have rarely been documented. There are case rare series in the literature regarding the treatment of recurrent cyclops lesion.

Management of Giant Cell Tumors in Hand and Foot.

The aim of this study is to determine the treatment modalities and clinical characteristics of 12 patients diagnosed with giant cell tumor (GCT) of the hand and foot. The clinical findings, treatment modalities, and treatment failures of 12 patients with giant cell tumors of the hand and foot bones between 2007 and 2018 years were evaluated retrospectively. The average age at diagnosis was 29.

First case of medullary osteogenic sarcoma of the pelvis: 12-year follow-up of reconstruction with hemipelvis allograft after resection.

A 45-year-old male patient with low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCO) in the periacetabular region underwent wide resection, fresh frozen hemipelvis allograft reconstruction, and total hip prosthesis. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first example of low-grade osteogenic sarcoma in flat bones. Aseptic loosening of the acetabular cup was observed 44 months after the operation, and it was revised with a constrained acetabular cup.

Outcomes of Planned Marginal and Wide Resection of Sarcomas Associated with Major Vascular Structures in Extremities.

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas of lower and upper extremities may sometimes be in close contact with neurovascular structures. In such cases, it is controversial that whether en bloc resection and vascular reconstruction to reach wider surgical margins or planned marginal resection with the help of adjuvant therapies should be preferred. This study aimed to determine surgical and oncological outcomes of planned marginal and wide resection of extremity sarcomas that are associated with major vascular structures in the extremities.
