Article Abstract
Case: A 35-year-old man with a chondrosarcoma of the thoracic spine was treated with neoadjuvant proton radiotherapy (RT), total en bloc spondylectomy (TES), and adjuvant RT. Multiple vertebrae were removed to ensure negative margins, which created a sizable midthoracic defect. A vascularized rib autograft was harvested and intussuscepted within a femoral allograft for reconstruction of the anterior column and supplemented with posterior and lateral instrumentation.
Conclusion: This report demonstrates the feasibility of using a rib autograft within a femoral allograft sleeve to achieve immediate robust biomechanical support and eventual osseous union after thoracic TES for malignant tumors.

A randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of the modified Stoppa and ilioinguinal approaches in the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.

Background: The Stoppa approach was modified to manage fractures of the anterior column as an alternative to the ilioinguinal approach to reduce complications. A debate persists regarding the superiority of one approach over the other. Therefore, in the present study we performed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the following hypotheses: (1) Whether the modified Stoppa approach leads to reduced blood loss, (2) Whether the functional and radiological outcomes with the modified Stoppa approach are superior to those with the ilioinguinal approach, and (3) Whether the complication rates differ between the two approaches.

Percutaneous pelvic screwing (PPS) enables fixation of traumatic or atraumatic fractures with little or no displacement, or displaced but reduced fractures, and preventive fixation of primary or secondary tumoral lesions. It is a relatively recent technique, and indications are evolving with progress in pre- and intra-operative imaging. Morbidity is lower than with open surgery.

These drugs inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins （PGs） in the neurons of the anterior hypothalamus and exert therapeutic effects as a consequence. However， these drugs are relatively commonly misused and abused， often owing to a lack of proper medication guidance.

Strategies and manoeuvres for severe rigid scoliosis.

Severe rigid scoliosis presents formidable surgical challenges, even for the most seasoned spine surgeons. Patients with idiopathic scoliosis frequently exhibit severe manifestations after years of progressive deformity, characterised by pronounced curves, significant rib humps, shoulder and trunk asymmetry, and cardiorespiratory complications associated with untreated scoliosis. In our practice, around one-third of patients with scoliosis present with advanced, severe, rigid scoliosis (>90° and 25 % correction on bending radiographs).
