RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Oncological distal femur resections can leave a proximal femur too short to host a stem. Reconstructive techniques are then challenging. The purpose of the study is to compare implant survival, complication rate and MSTS of two different options. METHODS: We retrospectively divided 33 patients with primary bone tumours of distal femur in Group 1 (16 patients reconstructed with knee megaprosthesis with proximal bone augmentation, APC) and Group 2 (17 patients reconstructed with total femur prosthesis, TFP). Less than 12 cm of remaining proximal femur were planned for all resections. RESULTS: MSTS score at 2 years is 25 ± 5 for Group 1 and 19 ± 7 for Group 2 (confidence interval [C.I.] 95%, p = 0.02). At 5 years it is 27 ± 2 for Group 1 and 22 ± 6 for Group 2 (C.I. 95%, p = 0.047). Failure and complication rates are lower for Group 1, but no statistical significance was reached. In APC reconstruction, union at the host-allograft junction was achieved in 16 out of 16 patients using the telescopic bone augmentation technique. CONCLUSIONS: APC provides higher functional results compared to TFP after extended distal femur resection. In APC reconstruction, telescopic augmentation is excellent for achieving union at the host-allograft junction.

INTRODUCTION: Megaendoprosthetic reconstruction of bone defects in skeletally immature patients has led to the development of unique complications and secondary deformities not observed in adult patient cohorts. With an increasing number of megaendoprosthetic replacements performed, orthopedic oncologists still gain experience in the incidence and type of secondary deformities caused. In this study, we report the incidence, probable cause and management outcome of two secondary deformities after megaendoprosthetic reconstruction of the proximal femur: hip dysplasia and genu valgum. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 14 patients who underwent primary and/or repeat reconstruction/surgery with a megaendoprosthetic proximal femur replacement between 2018 and 2022. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 9.1 years (range 4-17 years). Stress shielding was observed in 71.4%. Hip dislocation was the most frequent complication (50%). While four dislocations occurred without an underlying deformity, secondary hip dysplasia was identified in 58.3% (n = 7/12) of intraarticular resections and reconstructions, leading to dislocation in 71.4% (n = 5/7). A genu valgum deformity was observed in 41.6% (n = 5/12). The incidence of secondary hip dysplasia and concomitant genu valgum was 42.9% (n = 3/7). Triple pelvic osteotomy led to rebound hip dysplasia in two cases (patients aged < 10 years), whereas acetabular socket replacement led to stable hip joints over the course of follow-up. Temporary hemiepiphyseodesis was applied to address secondary genu valgum. CONCLUSIONS: Patients aged < 10 years were prone to develop secondary hip dysplasia and genu valgum following proximal femur replacement in this study. Management of secondary deformities should depend on remaining skeletal growth. Stress shielding was observed in almost all skeletally immature patients.

OBJECTIVES: Proximal femur tumor resection often leads to hip joint instability and functional loss. Various methods have been clinically applied to repair hip joint soft tissue function, but deficiencies remain. This study aims to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) tumor tube in assisting soft tissue function reconstruction in patients undergoing tumor type artificial hip replacement surgery. METHODS: This study included 85 patients (41 males, 44 females) with proximal femoral tumors treated at the Xiangya Bone Tumor Treatment Center from January 2012 to January 2022, aged 10 to 79 (38.5±18.2) years. Among them, 13 cases had benign aggressive tumors, 45 had primary malignant bone tumors, and 27 had bone metastases. Clinical data, imaging data, and intraoperative photos were collected. Patients were followed up and postoperative functional evaluations were conducted using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system and Harris hip joint scoring system to assess limb function and hip joint function. RESULTS: Preoperative pathological fractures were present in 37 cases (43.5%), with a lesion length of (9.4±2.9) cm. Among non-metastatic tumor patients, 7 experienced postoperative recurrence, including 6 cases of osteosarcoma and 1 case of fibrosarcoma. Pulmonary metastases occurred in 9 osteosarcoma patients. Five patients required reoperation due to postoperative complications, including 3 cases of deep vein thrombosis, 1 case of giant cell granuloma, and 1 case of prosthesis infection. Postoperatively, 5 patients exhibited Trendelenburg gait, and 6 had leg length discrepancies. The postoperative MSTS score was 26.7±1.4, and the Harris score was 89.6±5.3. CONCLUSIONS: The LARS tumor tube can effectively assist in reconstructing the soft tissue function of the hip joint and greatly reduce postoperative complications, making it an effective technical improvement in joint function reconstruction in tumor type artificial hip replacement surgery.

PURPOSE: There is a lack of consensus regarding the best type of reconstruction of the proximal femur following bone tumor resection. The objective of this study was to analyze the complication risks, implant survival, and functional outcomes following modular prosthesis (MP) and allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) reconstruction of the proximal femur after primary bone tumor resections. METHODS: We performed a search in the PubMed and Scopus libraries, obtaining 1 843 studies. We included studies reporting functional outcomes, complications, and implant survival of proximal femur reconstruction with MP or APC following primary bone tumor resection with a 2-year minimum follow-up. We excluded studies analyzing metastatic patients or studies with pooled data in which it was impossible to separate the data of patients with primary bone tumors from those with bone metastases. RESULTS: We analyzed 18 studies (483 patients) reporting on 234 (48%) patients with MP reconstruction and 249 (52%) patients with APC reconstruction. The risk of complications was similar in patients with MP reconstruction (29%; 95% CI [0.11; 0.47]) and APC reconstruction (36%; 95% CI [0.24; 0.47]) (p = 0.48). Implant survival following MP reconstruction ranged from 81 to 86% at 5 years, 75 to 86% at 10 years, and 82% at 15 years. Implant survival following APC reconstruction ranged from 86 to 100% at 5 years and 86% at 10 years, and 86% at 15 years. Functional outcomes following MP reconstruction and APC reconstruction ranged from 24.0 to 28.3 and from 21.9 to 27.8, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients with primary bone tumor of the proximal femur who underwent MP or APC reconstruction seem to have similar complication risks, implant survival, and functional outcomes.

PURPOSE: The patients with femoral metastasis in the inter- or subtrochanteric area could be treated with intramedullary nailing or prosthetic reconstruction, however, it is controversial which surgical treatment could offer less complications and implant failure. Our purpose was to define the risk of complications and implant survival in patients treated with intramedullary nailing or prosthetic reconstruction. METHODS: We analyzed studies reporting the risk of complications, reoperations and removal of the implant in patients treated with intramedullary nailing, hemiarthroplasty, arthroplasty or megaprosthesis. RESULTS: We analyzed 27 studies (1346 patients) reporting patients treated with intramedullary nail (51%), hemiarthroplasty (15%), arthroplasty (2%), megaprosthesis with (25%) or without (7%) acetabular component. No difference was found in the overall risk of complications between patients treated with intramedullary nailing 6%, hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty 7% and megaprosthesis 11% (p = 0.23). However, patients treated with megaprosthesis had increased risk of reoperation due to infection (70%), compared to the patients treated with intramedullary nail (13%), and patients treated with hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (23%) (p = 0.02). Revision due to disease progression was required in 61% of the patients treated with intramedullary nail, but not in patients treated with hemiarthroplasty, total arthroplasty, and megaprosthesis (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Patients treated with megaprosthesis had higher risk of reoperation due to infection, while patients treated with intramedullary nailing had higher risk of revision due to disease progression. Regarding patients treated with megaprosthesis, the risk of reoperation due to dislocation was higher in those treated with acetabular component.

The accurate fenestration, screw implantation and assisting stabilizing-plate placement in surgery of benign tumors in the proximal femur needs be defined easily. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of 3D printed multifunctional guides plate (3D-MGP) based on computer aided design. Between January 2020 and June 2022, 17 patients (nine females and eight males) with benign proximal femoral tumor had lesion curettage and allograft combined with internal plate fixation using 3D-MGP. In this study, the patients had CT scans and a technician reconstructed the 3D images of tumor and the femur, a doctor designed the location and margin of the fenestration and screws, and integrated different functions into MGP for benign proximal femoral lesions, which assisted in precise localization, fenestration and screw drilling. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring was used to evaluate lower extremity function. Bone healing and the screws location was assessed with the radiographs. All patients underwent successful surgery with complete resection of the tumor and internal fixation with using the 3D-MGP. The mean follow-up was 16.4 months. The operative time was 126.47 ± 18.44 min, intraoperative bleeding was 198.23 ± 67.94 mL, intraoperative fluoroscopy was 6.47 ± 0.62, postoperative drainage was 223.82 ± 119.51 mL, and MSTS score was 27.29 ± 1.31 points. There were no unplanned fenestration and improper screw fixation. The 3D-MGP enabled personalized and accurate location of tumor, fenestration, screw placement and assisted stabilizing-plate placement for the treatment of benign tumor of the proximal femur. This technique has the potential to shorten operative times, decrease intraoperative bleeding, and reduce radiation exposure to patients.

CASE: Rotationplasty is a surgical procedure used for restoring functionality after skeletal tumor resection. Multiple complications have been described, including the potential occurrence of fractures. Literature on fracture management after rotationplasty is limited. In this article, we present 2 cases of late ipsilateral fractures in rotated limbs successfully treated with intramedullary nailing. CONCLUSION: Effective management of fractures after rotationplasty requires thorough understanding of the rotated limb anatomy and careful planning. The clinical considerations presented in this article aim to provide guidance for surgeons to achieve successful outcomes in the management of fractures after rotationplasty.

CASE: A 24-year-old woman presented with dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma of the proximal femur and was treated with limb salvage surgery using the Compress implant. It was implanted with a technical error, was not revised, and has demonstrated no negative outcomes 29 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: An instance of incorrect pin placement during the implantation of a Zimmer Compress implant is presented with good survivorship. This report acts as information for other surgeons who might inadvertently obtain unicortical fixation. In this patient, revision surgery was avoided and an excellent, short-term outcome was achieved while avoiding the potentially devastating complications associated with revision implantation.

The distal femur is one of the most common sites for primary bone tumors. As the tumor progresses and bone destruction worsens, it can severely affect knee function and even pose a threat to life. In cases where only one condyle is affected and requires resection, preserving the healthy contralateral condyle can substantially enhance the biomechanics of the knee. Furthermore, preserving bone stock may enable future salvage procedures in the event of initial surgery failure, be it from fractures or osteoarthritis. Distal femoral unicondyle resection can offer better functional outcomes in select cases. However, it is essential to prioritize oncological safety with adequate margins over short-term knee function. Currently, the primary methods for reconstruction after the excision of a unicondylar tumor include allograft transplantation (bi- or uni-condylar) and prosthetic or allograft-prosthesis composite replacement (APC). However, there is currently some controversy regarding the optimal surgical reconstruction method, and a consensus within the academic community has yet to be reached. Moreover, due to the rarity of bone tumors, extensive clinical data from a single center is limited. Current studies are mainly retrospective and single-center, lacking sufficient cases and follow-up duration. This article reviews surgical reconstruction after solitary condylar excision in distal femoral tumors. It summarizes, compares, and analyzes mainstream reconstruction methods, exploring their technical details and clinical outcomes to highlight their potential in bone oncology.

BACKGROUND: Stem fixation in reconstruction after resection of femoral tumors is debated. Cemented stems offer immediate stability but risk aseptic loosening, while press-fit stems allow bone ingrowth but risk stress shielding and subsidence. Our retrospective review aimed to determine implant failure rates and their associated factors, as well as the rates of infection, debridement, and mortality for both fixation groups (cemented or press-fit stems) used in patients undergoing resection of femoral tumor disease and subsequent arthroplasty. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 252 patients who underwent resection of femoral tumors and subsequent arthroplasty using cemented (n = 173; 69%) or press-fit (noncemented) (n = 79; 31%) stems between 1999 and 2020. Implant failure was the primary outcome, with secondary outcomes including rates of implant infection, debridement, and mortality. Multivariable regression was done to assess risk factors for implant failures. RESULTS: The study found implant failure rates of 11% and 18% for cemented stems and press-fit stems, respectively. Lower stem to diaphyseal ratios ( P = 0.024) and younger patients ( P = 0.008) were associated with a higher risk of implant failure in cemented stems. The infection rates were 14% and 10% for cemented and press-fit stems, respectively. Debridement rates were 16% and 13% for cemented and press-fit stems, respectively, while the 1-year mortality rate was 16% for cemented stems and 1.5% for press-fit stems. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the largest of its kind, providing patient characteristics and outcomes in both cemented and press-fit stems in the setting of reconstruction for femoral tumors. Both methods can be effective, with outcomes dependent on patient-specific factors, such as life expectancy, activity level, and body habitus, as well as proper implant fit. Additional studies of both implants and longer follow-up are required to elucidate the optimal fixation method for each individual patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective noncomparative study.

INTRODUCTION: conventional parosteal osteosarcoma is an uncommon malignant bone tumor, comprising 4% of all osteosarcomas. Although rare, parosteal osteosarcoma is the most common type of osteosarcoma of the bone surface. We present the clinical, histological and imaging characteristics of a rare histologic variant of a parosteal osteosarcoma, review the literature and emphasize the importance of radio-pathological correlation as well as the interpretation of a representative biopsy in order to obtain the correct diagnosis. CASE REPORT: a 36-year old woman began her condition one year prior to admission to the hospital with increased volume in the left knee and pain. Image studies showed a juxtacortical heterogeneous tumor localized on the posterior surface of the distal femoral metaphysis. An incisional biopsy was performed, with the diagnosis of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma and a wide surgical resection was undertaken. According to the findings of the surgical specimen, the diagnosis of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma with low grade chondrosarcoma and liposarcoma components was made. The knowledge of this rare parosteal osteosarcoma variant can lead the orthopedic oncologists to avoid overlooking the adipose component and provide adequate surgical margins. CONCLUSION: we present the clinical, histological and imaging characteristics of a Parosteal Osteosarcoma with low grade liposarcoma and chondrosarcoma components.
INTRODUCCIÓN: el osteosarcoma parosteal convencional es un tumor óseo maligno poco común, que comprende el 4% de todos los osteosarcomas. Aunque es poco común, el osteosarcoma parosteal es el tipo más común de osteosarcoma de la superficie ósea. Presentamos las características clínicas, histológicas y de imagen de una variante histológica rara de un osteosarcoma parosteal, revisamos la literatura y enfatizamos la importancia de la correlación radio-patológica, así como la interpretación de una biopsia representativa para obtener el diagnóstico correcto. REPORTE DE CASO: mujer de 36 años inició su cuadro un año antes de su ingreso al hospital con aumento de volumen en rodilla izquierda y dolor. Los estudios de imagen mostraron una tumoración heterogénea yuxtacortical localizada en la superficie posterior de la metáfisis femoral distal. Se realizó biopsia incisional, con diagnóstico de osteosarcoma parosteal y se realizó resección quirúrgica amplia. De acuerdo con los hallazgos de la pieza quirúrgica se realizó el diagnóstico de osteosarcoma parosteal con componentes de condrosarcoma y liposarcoma de bajo grado. El conocimiento de esta rara variante de osteosarcoma parosteal puede llevar a los ortopedistas oncólogos a considerar otros componentes y proporcionar márgenes quirúrgicos adecuados. CONCLUSIÓN: presentamos las características clínicas, histológicas y de imagen de un osteosarcoma parosteal con componentes de liposarcoma y condrosarcoma de bajo grado.

BACKGROUND: Total femur replacement (TFR) has become increasingly significant as a salvage procedure for both oncologic reconstruction and complex nononcologic conditions such as revision arthroplasty. Despite its effectiveness in limb salvage, TFR is associated with high complication and failure rates, which vary depending on the underlying indication. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases was conducted, focusing on studies that reported outcomes of TFR in oncologic and nononcologic cases. Primary outcomes included failure mode and rates according to the Henderson classification, functional outcomes scores, and mobility status. Data were analyzed using random-effects models and generalized linear mixed models. RESULTS: A total of 35 studies involving 1,002 patients were included. The majority of TFRs were performed for oncologic reasons (63.7%). The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 66%, with a limb salvage rate of 89%. The meta-analysis revealed a combined failure rate of 34%. For type 4 failures (infection), nononcologic patients exhibited a significantly higher rate at 18% (95% confidence interval [CI], 12%-26%, I2 = 46%, p < 0.01) compared with 8% in oncologic patients (95% CI, 6%-12%, I2 = 0%). Regarding combined types 1 to 4 failures, oncologic patients had a rate of 20% (95% CI, 25%-52%, I2 = 60%), whereas nononcologic patients faced a higher rate of 37% (95% CI, 12%-26%, I2 = 63%) (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference. There were no significant differences in the MSTS score. In addition, there were no notable differences when comparing failure modes 1, 2, and 3 independently. Mobility analysis showed that approximately 70% of patients required walking aids after surgery. CONCLUSION: TFR offers a valuable limb salvage option in both oncologic and nononcologic scenarios, despite its high failure rates. Although functional outcomes were similar between groups, the higher failure rate in nononcologic cases and the poor overall quality of evidence warrant further comprehensive assessments into predictors of outcomes to optimize results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

PURPOSE: Parosteal Osteosarcoma is a well-differentiated, low-grade bone sarcoma. It most commonly occurs in the third decade of life, usually in the distal femur. This study aims to perform a literature review about the types of reconstructions reported and to analyze the results of an updated technique of resection using custom-made 3D-printed cutting guides. METHODS: We perform a systematic literature review about parosteal osteosarcoma, evaluating treatments, margins, local recurrence, complications, and functional results when available. We also report a case treated in our Center with a revisited technique introducing custom-made 3D-printed cutting guides. RESULTS: We analyzed 12 studies with a total of 151 patients. The distal femur was the most frequently reported site (81.5%). After distal femur resection, reconstruction was performed with graft in most cases (48%), followed by prosthetic reconstruction (40%). Margins were wide in 85.5% of cases. The total incidence of local recurrence was 11%. Functional results were excellent in all cases, with a mean MSTS score of 86%. In our case, with the help of the jigs, the surgical technique was relatively easy, graft fusion excellent and fast, margins wide, and functional results excellent. CONCLUSIONS: In the literature, the most commonly used type of reconstruction after resection is biological with graft. Indeed, despite the increasing number of prosthetic reconstructions, the historical diaphysometaphyseal hemiresection and graft is still indicated in parosteal osteosarcoma of the distal femur. New technologies, such as the jigs we used, allow significant advantages during the procedure: reduce the resection and graft preparation time, allow a better match between components, and help to obtain safer margins, sparing as much bone as possible.

BACKGROUND: Metastatic femoral tumors may lead to pathological fractures during daily activities. A CT-based finite element analysis of a patient's femurs was shown to assist orthopedic surgeons in making informed decisions about the risk of fracture and the need for a prophylactic fixation. Improving the accuracy of such analyses ruqires an automatic and accurate segmentation of the tumors and their automatic inclusion in the finite element model. We present herein a deep learning algorithm (nnU-Net) to automatically segment lytic tumors within the femur. METHOD: A dataset consisting of fifty CT scans of patients with manually annotated femoral tumors was created. Forty of them, chosen randomly, were used for training the nnU-Net, while the remaining ten CT scans were used for testing. The deep learning model's performance was compared to two experienced radiologists. FINDINGS: The proposed algorithm outperformed the current state-of-the-art solutions, achieving dice similarity scores of 0.67 and 0.68 on the test data when compared to two experienced radiologists, while the dice similarity score for inter-individual variability between the radiologists was 0.73. INTERPRETATION: The automatic algorithm may segment lytic femoral tumors in CT scans as accurately as experienced radiologists with similar dice similarity scores. The influence of the realistic tumors inclusion in an autonomous finite element algorithm is presented in (Rachmil et al., "The Influence of Femoral Lytic Tumors Segmentation on Autonomous Finite Element Analyses", Clinical Biomechanics, 112, paper 106192, (2024)).

CASE: A 71-year-old man with castration-resistant Stage IVB prostate cancer developed symptomatic oligometastatic disease in the lumbar spine and bilateral proximal femurs. He was treated with a single-position L2-L4 kyphoplasty with concomitant prone left-sided femoral prophylactic cephalomedullary nailing. Six months later when he again lost the ability to ambulate, he was treated with a single-position L4-L5 laminectomy for an epidural tumor with prone right-sided femoral prophylactic cephalomedullary nailing. CONCLUSION: Single-position prone surgery of the spine and prone femoral nailing is feasible and improves on traditional multiposition approaches, eliminating the need to reposition or change tables during management.

CASE: This is a first report describing preservation of the femoral head by transcervical resection of proximal femoral Ewing sarcoma in 2 pediatric patients. A unique Capanna reconstruction supported joint salvage. At 1 year, Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument and Pediatric Toronto Extremity Salvage Score outcomes were excellent. Surveillance magnetic resonance imaging was without evidence of recurrence or impaired perfusion to the femoral head. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the feasibility of hip joint preservation and maintenance of femoral head viability after transcervical resection of pediatric proximal femur bone sarcomas while preserving the medial circumflex femoral artery. This technique may be a preferred option over joint sacrifice and endoprosthetic replacement in young patients when tumor margins permit.

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment for hinge failure in mega-prosthesis continues to be a challenge. This study introduces a new method for treating hinge failure by using a unilateral prosthesis and hinge revision. CASE PRESENTATION: We here present two patients who underwent mega-prosthesis reconstruction after resection of osteosarcoma in the distal femur. To address the issue of knee hyperextension after mega-prosthesis reconstruction, one patient underwent three revision surgeries, two surgeries were performed using the original hinge, and one surgery involved a newly designed hinge. To resolve the problem of dislocation, one patient underwent three revisions, with the first two revisions not involving hinge replacement and the third revision involving a newly designed hinge. Two replacements of unilateral prosthesis and hinge renovations were successful.

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. A 10-year-old girl with osteosarcoma of the right distal femur underwent (neo-) adjuvant chemotherapy, wide tumor resection, and reconstruction using a growing tumor prosthesis and a short non-cemented femoral stem. Half a year after implantation, she developed aseptic loosening. Revision surgery was performed using a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated cementless femoral stem. Postoperative plain radiographs revealed SCFE that was treated by closed reduction and screw fixation. The patient recovered without complications, and unaffected hip showed no radiographic signs of slippage on follow-up. The forces of implanting a tumor prosthesis, particularly with a non-cemented stem, can increase the risk of an acute SCFE. The controversy over prophylactic pinning of the uninvolved hip in chemotherapy-associated SCFE is unresolved. Pinning can be considered only in the presence of abnormal prodromal radiological findings.
