Article Abstract
Primary malignancies originating in the calcaneus are rare, constituting fewer than 1% of skeletal tumors. Traditional approaches like amputation, though effective, result in significant morbidity. This study presents a case of a 32-year-old male with calcaneal chondrosarcoma, managed with total calcanectomy and subsequent limb salvage through iliac wing autograft reconstruction. The decision for reconstruction considered tumor characteristics, patient factors, and feasibility of reconstruction methods. Successful recovery and functional outcomes were achieved without evidence of recurrence during the 67-month follow-up. The use of autogenous iliac bone graft demonstrated its suitability for structural reconstruction, emphasizing limb-sparing options in calcaneal chondrosarcomas.

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.

Purpose: Through the measurement of Graf's alpha (α) angle, the Graf method uses two-dimensional ultrasound (US) to diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants. However, this unidimensional index cannot fully reflect anatomic shape features and variations of iliac wing and bony acetabular roof (IW-AR) coronal outlines that may influence DDH. This study aimed to analyze the shapes of IW-AR outlines by revealing their mean shape, possible shape variations, and the impact of these variations on the α angle variability.

Purpose: This study estimates the tolerance of the female pelvis iliac wing under lap belt loading in frontal impacts. With future autonomous vehicles relying on seatbelts as the primary restraint, understanding pelvic injury biomechanics is crucial. The goal was to investigate pelvis fracture patterns resulting from seat belt loading among female specimens in MCW series and develop injury risk curves (IRCs) for iliac bone fracture.

Introduction: Reconstruction of composite defects involving both soft tissue and bone in the extremities remains a complex challenge in reconstructive surgery. The osteocutaneous superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap combines a pliable skin island with vascularized iliac bone, offering a potential solution. However, reports on its application in reconstruction of the upper and lower limb remain limited.
