RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Surgical treatment of persistent non-union of the humeral shaft is a complex situation because of the risk of failure and surgery-related complications. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological results of a continuous series of persistent non-union treated with plating and bone grafting. The secondary objective was to expose factors contributing to the failure of prior bone union attempts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixteen patients (average age of 52 years) were treated for persistent non-union of the humeral shaft in our department; six of these patients had predisposing comorbidities or addictions. The persistent non-union was treated by plating with autologous bone graft from the iliac crest in a single-stage procedure in 12 cases and a two-stage procedure in three cases; one case was treated with plating and vascularized fibula graft. RESULTS: At a minimum follow-up of 12 months (average 78 months), four (25 %) failed to heal. The 12 other patients had bone union after an average of eight months. The average QuickDASH score was 48 points (18-72). A retrospective analysis of the prior attempts to treat the non-union revealed three cases of unstable fixation, four cases with no osteogenic supply and seven cases of positive microbiological cultures at the non-union site. CONCLUSION: Plating and autologous bone grafting resulted in union in only 75 % of persistent non-union of the humeral shaft. The persistent nature of the humeral shaft non-union could be attributed to deviating from validated rules for surgical treatment and/or the presence of a surgical site infection.

BACKGROUND: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) provides an alternative for shoulder girdle reconstruction after wide transarticular resection of the proximal humerus for malignant tumor. The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm outcomes of this therapeutic option. METHODS: Ten patients with RSA were included and reviewed with 24 months of minimum follow-up. Proximal resection of malignant tumor included the "V" deltoid insertion in 4 patients. The humeral stem was coated (with an allograft in 2 patients and a cement mantel in 3) or left uncoated (5 patients). RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 42 months, among 8 prosthesis available for evaluation (2 patients died), the Constant and Murley score averaged 52 points, the 11-item version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) score averaged 29.5 points, the Subjective Shoulder Value averaged 58%, and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score averaged 20.25 points. Mean forward active elevation reached 122°, external rotation at side was -2°, and internal rotation was to L4. Three prostheses were unstable. The involvement of "V" deltoid insertion at surgery trended to worsen the clinical outcome. Atrophy of the anterior deltoid occurred in most of patients who had a previous transdeltoid biopsy. Radiographic evaluation found 1 stem loosening, 1 stem at risk, and 3 scapular notches without glenoid loosening. CONCLUSION: Use of RSA after resection of a malignant tumor of the proximal humerus seems to be an acceptable option to preserve function. However, radiographic evolution is worrisome, and long-term study remains necessary to validate this therapeutic option with follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of gender on epiphyseal morphology and using this information to determine if an implant product line with a single width provides sufficient bone coverage for the entire population of knees being replaced. Morphology of the distal femoral epiphysis from 420 continuous knees was acquired with a surgical navigation system during primary TKA. A three-dimensional model of the distal femur was generated and used to determine the anterioposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) dimensions on 19 different virtual knee sections. Female knees had smaller AP and ML dimensions than male knees. The ML width of the distal femoral epiphysis was associated with femur length, not gender. Measurements derived from surgical navigation confirm that distal femoral epiphysis dimensions are related to femur length only independently of gender.

Treatment of mid-shaft fractures of both forearm bones in adults typically consists of individual plate fixation of each bone according to AO principles. The primary objective of this multicentre retrospective study was to identify predictive and prognostic factors of failed bone union after internal fixation with a standard plate in adults. 130 mid-shaft fractures of both forearms occurred in 92 men and 38 women, who had a mean age of 35.1 years were reviewed; 42 were open: 31 were Gustilo type I, 10 were type II and 1 was type III. All patients underwent ORIF using a direct approach over the supinator crest for the ulnar fracture and using an anterior approach at the level of the radial fracture by dynamic compression plate in 90 cases and a limited-contact dynamic compression plate in 40 cases, all with 3.5 mm diameter screws. The radiographs from all patients were reviewed after a minimum follow-up of 12 months: primary union of both forearm bones occurred in 121 of the 130 cases after a mean of 4.6 months (±2.6). 104 patients were reviewed clinically with a minimum follow-up of 12 months and a mean of 36 months (±21.7). According to Tscherne-Oestern classification, 79 % of patients had a very good outcome, 6 % had a good outcome, 10 % had a fair outcome and 5 % had a poor outcome Non-union occurred in 9 patients (one septic): 4 times at both fracture sites, 4 times at the ulna only and once at the radius only. The mean age was higher in the patients with non-union: 46.4 years versus 34.2 (P = 0.08). Smoking, alcoholism, associated head trauma, presence of pre-operative nerve deficit and open fracture did not appear to be risk factors for non-union. The type of plate used and the number of screws placed on either side of the fracture site had no effect on union. This patient series had a similar non-union rate to the one reported in other published studies, likely because the technical rules were followed. A lack of statistical power probably prevented us from identifying prognostic factors for bone union.

BACKGROUND: The Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty is a linked implant. This study investigated the hypotheses that reliable results can be obtained in rheumatoid patients and in traumatic conditions and that the survival rate is similar to or better than what has been published for nonlinked implants. METHODS: Surgery was performed on 70 consecutive patients (78 elbows) for an inflammatory arthritis (45 elbows) or a traumatic condition (33 elbows: 18 acute fractures of the distal humerus, 10 nonunions, and 5 post-traumatic arthritis). RESULTS: At an average of 5 years of follow-up (2 to 11 years), the mean Mayo Elbow Performance Score for the group that had inflammatory arthritis (89 ± 13 points) was significantly higher than that for the group with a traumatic condition (80 ± 17 points). The QuickDASH score was not significantly different according to the etiology. Radiolucencies were observed in 17 cases around the humeral component and in 14 cases around the ulnar component. Bushing wear was observed in 14 cases. There were 27 complications, and 9 of them went to a revision procedure. The survival rate was 97.7% at 5 years and 91.0% at 10 years if we consider revision for aseptic loosening as an endpoint. CONCLUSIONS: The Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty allows treatment of a large spectrum of causes with satisfactory results. Better results have been obtained for rheumatoid patients than for patients with trauma. The rate of complication remains high even if the rate of implant revision stays low. However, the increased incidence of lucent lines around the ulnar component with follow-up and bushing wear are of concern.

BACKGROUND: The goal of a resurfacing shoulder arthroplasty is to reproduce the individual's anatomy while preserving the bone stock of the humeral head. This study investigated the hypothesis that resurfacing the humeral prosthesis restores normal glenohumeral relationships and correlates with the final clinical results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A resurfacing shoulder implant was performed in 61 patients (64 shoulders). Indications were primary osteoarthritis in 26, secondary osteoarthritis in 21, avascular necrosis in 4, rheumatoid arthritis in 4, dysplasia in 4, and for others indications in 5. RESULTS: At an average of 36 months (range, 24-65) of follow-up , the Constant score reached 68 points and the Quick-Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand score reached 28 points. Preoperative and postoperative radiographic analysis showed a decrease of the humeral head diameter (51 ± 5 vs 48 ± 5 mm) and of the height of the humeral head (21 ± 4 vs 19 ± 2 mm), without modification of the radius of curvature or the height of the center of rotation. The medial humeral offset increased from 3.3 ± 3.5 to 6.4 ± 3 mm and the lateral offset from 6.8 ± 9 to 10.4 ± 9 mm. The implant was mainly in varus postoperatively compared with preoperative values (122° ± 11° vs 134° ± 7°). Postoperative radiographic analysis and at the last follow-up did not show any significant difference, except for the increase of the depth of the glenoid from 4.2 ± 1.4 to 4.9 ± 1.8 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The resurfacing shoulder arthroplasty reproduces the normal anatomy and compensates glenohumeral wear. However, there was a tendency to position the prosthesis in varus because of technical imperfections. With follow-up, medialization of the humerus with glenoid wear was observed and was correlated in some patients with reappearance of pain.

PURPOSE: The Kapandji pinning was initially described for the treatment of surgical neck fractures of the humerus in young patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate functional and radiological outcomes of the Kapandji modified technique in displaced complex three- and four-part fractures. METHODS: From 2005 to 2009, 32 patients (23 three-part and nine four-part fractures) were included retrospectively. The mean age was 63 years old (range, 22-86), and the dominant shoulder was involved in 40% of the cases. RESULTS: At a mean follow up of 25 months (12-72), the mean absolute Constant score achieved 68 points (35-98) and adjusted score 80% (47-100). Patients had an average forward elevation of the shoulder of 132° (80°-180°), an average external rotation of 36° (0°-90°), and an average internal rotation to the level of L1 (sacrum to the level of T6). The older the patients were the worst was the active anterior elevation recovery (r = -0.3; p = 0.01). Reduction and fixation of initial varus-displaced fractures was not as reliable as in valgus. In eight cases (25%), K-wire migrations were observed and were correlated with age over 70 years old (p = 0.001). Two partial osteolysis of the greater tuberosity and two avascular necrosis of the humeral head (one was associated with a non-union) were identified. Moreover, three patients developed adhesive capsulitis. CONCLUSION: The Kapandji technique with fixation of tuberosities provides satisfactory results for the treatment of complex proximal fractures of the humerus. However, we do not recommend this technique for patients older than 70 years and in cases of varus displaced fractures.

Malignant transformation of a fibrous dysplasia into an osteosarcoma is very rare. We report the case of an 84-year-old man with telangiectatic osteosarcoma of the upper femur arising in a previous fibrous dysplasia also known as liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor. The tumor was expressing the epithelial membrane antigen. This is the first described case of a malignant transformation into an osteosarcoma arising in a liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor. We discuss the main differential diagnosis with a review.

The number of hip or knee arthroplasties, and internal fixations of the proximal and distal femur, is increasing in proportion to the growing and ageing population, whose life expectancy is lengthening. Thus, fractures of the femur between proximal and distal implants, although rare, are becoming more frequent. Women over the age of 70, with fragile bones and whose ends of the two implants are close to each other ("kissing implants") are particularly vulnerable to them. Reliable and reproducible fracture classifications exist when it comes to 2 prostheses, but they are less well established in the presence of one, or even two, non-prosthetic implants. Their treatment is difficult and must consider the possibility of fracture consolidation while ensuring or restoring the stability and role of the implants. Whether it is the main element of treatment or a complement to prosthesis revision, locked plating forms the basis of the treatment but it must be rigorous, considering that failures are mainly the result of technical errors. Other more invasive treatments (total femoral arthroplasty, cortical sleeves) are offered more rarely if consolidation appears compromised.

INTRODUCTION: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is an option to conserve limb function after resection of proximal humerus malignancy. An allograft-composite RSA is an alternative to a tumor prosthesis, and can restore proximal humeral bone stock. The aim of the present study was to assess medium-term radiographic and clinical results for such composite implants. METHODS: Patients with malignant proximal humerus tumor treated by resection and reconstruction by composite RSA were retrospectively analyzed at a minimum 24months' follow-up. Clinical assessment used Constant score, Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) and ADLER score. Standard radiographic work-up assessed allograft absorption and screened for implant loosening. RESULTS: Eleven patients were included, with a mean age of 51years (range: 19-87years) and mean 30months' follow-up (range: 24-84months). Mean tumor resection was 10cm (range: 6-17cm). Etiologies comprised chondrosarcoma (n=6), osteosarcoma (n=2), B-cell lymphoma (n=1) and single metastasis (n=2). Bony increased-offset allograft was associated to humerus reconstruction in 8 cases, and latissimus dorsi tendon transfer in 5 cases. Mean Constant score was 49 points, SSV 52%, and ADLER score 20 points. Increased glenoid implant offset associated to tendon transfer significantly improved anterior elevation and external rotation. Radiographic allograft consolidation to the native humerus was acquired in 73% of cases, while osteolysis in the epiphyseal-metaphyseal zone was found in 64%. There were no cases of humeral implant loosening. Glenoid allograft absorption was systematic (8/8 cases), without inducing loosening of the implant baseplate. CONCLUSION: Composite reverse shoulder arthroplasty is functionally effective after massive resection. However, allograft absorption is a drawback, casting doubt on continued use on the glenoid side. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

INTRODUCTION: Peripheral and spinal bone metastases arise mainly from 5 osteophilic cancers: lung, prostate, kidney, breast and thyroid. Few studies combined results for the two types metastatic location (peripheral and spinal). Therefore we performed a multicenter retrospective study of surgically managed peripheral and spinal bone metastases to assess: (1) global function at a minimum 1 year's follow-up and; (2) factors affecting survival. HYPOTHESIS: Global function is improved by surgery, with acceptable survival. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Between 2015 and 2016, 386 patients were operated on in 11 centers for 401 metastases: 231 peripheral, and 170 spinal. Mean age was 62.6±12.5 years in the 212 female patients (54%) versus 66.4±11.5 years in the 174 males (46%) (p=0.001). Pre- to postoperative comparison was made on pain on VAS (visual analog scale), WHO (World Health Organization) score, Karnofsky score, walking and global upper-limb function. Survival was estimated at 4 years' follow-up. RESULTS: The most frequent locations were in the femur (n=146, 36%) and thoracic spine (n=107, 27%). The primary cancer was revealed by the metastasis in 82 patients (21%). There were 55 general complications (14%) and 48 local complications (12%). Twenty-one patients (5.4%) died during the first month. VAS and Karnofsky sores improved: respectively, 6.6±2.3 vs. 3.4±2.1 (p<0.001) and 65±14 vs. 72±20 (p=0.01). Walking, upper-limb function and Frankel grade improved in respectively 49/86 (57%), 19/29 (66%) and 31/84 (37%) patients. Median survival was 13.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-17.1), and was related to the primary (log-rank, p<0.001): lung 6.5 months (95% CI: 5.2-8.9), prostate 11.1 months (95% CI: 5.3-43.6), kidney 12.9 months (95% CI: 8.4-22.6), breast 26.5 months (95% CI: 19.0-34.0), and thyroid 49.0 months (95% CI: 12.2-NA). On multivariate analysis, independent factors for death comprised internal fixation rather than prosthesis (OR=2.20; 95% CI: 1.59-3.04 (p<0.001)), high preoperative ASA score (OR=1.78; 95% CI: 1.40-2.28 (p<0.001)), preoperative chemotherapy (OR=1.26; 95% CI: 1.13-1.41 (p<0.001)) and major visceral metastasis (lung, brain, liver) (OR=11.80; 95% CI: 5.21-26.71 (p<0.001)). CONCLUSION: Although function improved only slightly, pain relief and maintained autonomy suggest enhanced comfort in life, confirming the study hypothesis only partially. Factors affecting survival and clinical results argue for preventive surgery when possible, before general health status deteriorates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective observational.

Background: Bone metastases in thyroid cancer impair the patient's quality of life and prognosis. Interestingly, wide margins resection as the surgical treatment of bone metastases might improve the overall survival (OS). Nonetheless, data are lacking regarding the potential benefits of this strategy. Methods: In order to assess the OS of patients with thyroid cancer after a bone metastases carcinologic resection, a retrospective multicentric study was performed, evaluating the 1, 5, 10 and 15 years-OS along with the potential prognosis associated factors. Results: 40 patients have been included in this multicentric study, with a mean follow-up after surgery of 46.6 ± 58 months. We observed 25 (62.5%) unimestastatic patients and 15 multimetastatic patients (37.5%). The median overall survival after resection was 48 ± 57.3 months. OS at 1, 5, 10, and 15 years was respectively 76.2%, 63.6%, 63.6%, and 31.8%. Survival for patients with a single bone metastasis at 15 year was 82.3%, compared with 0.0% (Log Rank, p = 0.022) for multi-metastatic bone patients. Conclusions: This study advocates for an increased long term 10-year OS in patients with thyroid cancer, after resection of a single bone metastasis, suggesting the benefits of this strategy in this population.
RESUMO
HYPOTHESIS: Hemiarthroplasty for shoulder osteoarthritis with a glenoid dysplasia gives satisfactory results at medium-range follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1998 to 2006, 9 patients (10 shoulders) with glenoid dysplasia and osteoarthritis were treated with shoulder hemiarthroplasty. The mean age at surgery was 54 years (range, 44-73 years). At a minimum of 24 months after surgery, all patients were retrospectively reviewed with a clinical and radiographic evaluation. The average duration of follow-up was 71 months (range, 28-126 months). RESULTS: One shoulder underwent revision surgery for anterior dislocation within 6 months after the initial procedure. The pain level improved significantly, with no or slight pain for 9 of the 10 shoulders. Postoperatively active external rotation and anterior elevation increased significantly, with a mean of 34.5° and 124°, respectively. The average American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score was 81.5 points at the last follow-up, and results were considered as excellent or satisfactory in 7 shoulders according to the modified Neer rating scale. Erosion of the glenoid was considered as slight on radiographs, and radiolucencies were seen around humeral stem in one case. DISCUSSION: The opportunity of glenoid component implantation in case of anatomic shoulder replacement with dysplastic morphology has to be carefully evaluate because of bone stock insufficiency, glenoid orientation, and the age of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a limited number of patients in this study, hemiarthroplasty gave satisfactory clinical results in most cases. It seems to be a reliable option to treat osteoarthritis in case of dysplastic morphology of shoulder.

PURPOSE: Our goal was to evaluate the five-year follow-up results of the Scorpio single radius total knee arthroplasty. METHOD: We performed a retrospective study based upon a multicentre database to evaluate the minimum five-year follow-up clinical and radiological results of 747 patients (831 knees) who underwent primary Scorpio single radius total knee arthroplasty. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 71.9 years. At a minimal five-year follow-up, 141 patients were lost to follow-up, 83 patients had died, eight patients had undergone revision of a component, and the remaining 589 patients (602 knees) had a complete clinical and radiological evaluation after a median of six years (range, 5-8). The mean clinical component of the knee score was 92.2 points, and the mean functional component of the knee score was 76.9 points. At last follow-up, 530 of the 602 knees were rated as excellent or good. Only four knees developed patellar complications requiring revision. The survival rate at six years was 95.2% ± 1.9% and 98.3% ± 0.6 with revision for any reason and revision for mechanical failure as the end point, respectively. CONCLUSION: This medium-term study indicates favourable clinical and radiological results for this single flexion-extension radius design arthroplasty, with a low complication rate on the patellar side.

INTRODUCTION: Pathologic fracture is the most feared complication in long-bone metastasis. Various radiographic tools are available for identifying at-risk patients and guide preventive treatment. The Mirels score is the most frequently studied and widely used, but has been criticized, many patients not being operated on until the actual fracture stage. We therefore conducted a French national multicenter prospective study: (1) to determine the proportion of patients operated on at fracture stage versus preventively; (2) to compare Mirels score between the two; and (3) to identify factors for operation at fracture stage according to Mirels score and other epidemiological, clinical and biological criteria. HYPOTHESIS: Simple discriminatory items can be identified to as to complete the Mirels score and enhance its predictive capacity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A non-controlled multicenter prospective study included 245 patients operated on for non-revelatory long-bone metastasis, comparing patients operated on for fracture versus preventively according to body-mass index (BMI), ASA score, Katagiri score items and the 4 Mirels items. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-six patients (51.4%) were operated on at fracture stage: 106 (84.1%) showed high risk on Mirels score (score>8), and 15 (11.9%) moderate risk (score=8). On multivariate analysis, 4 independent factors emerged: in increasing order, advanced age (OR=1.03; 95%CI 1.01-1.06), VAS pain score>6 (OR=1.47; 95%CI 1.02-2.11), WHO grade>2 (OR=2.74; 95%CI 1.22-6.15), and upper-limb location (OR=5.26; 95%CI 2.13-12.84). DISCUSSION: The present study confirmed that more than half of patients with long-bone metastasis are operated on at actual fracture stage, in agreement with the literature. Several studies highlighted the weakness of the Mirels score as a predictive instrument. Comparison between preventive and fracture-stage surgery showed that upper-limb location, intense pain, advanced age and impaired functional status were associated with fracture-stage surgery, and should be taken into account alongside the original Mirels criteria. This improved scoring instrument remains to be validated in a prospective study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, prospective cohort study without control group.

INTRODUCTION: Long bone metastasis to the tibia is somewhat rare and has only been studied in a few publications with a limited number of cases. This led us to carry out a large multicenter, observational, retrospective study to 1) evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of surgical treatment at this location and 2) highlight the specific risks associated with this condition. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that the clinical outcomes and survivorship were comparable to those reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The case series included 15 men and 10 women with a mean age of 66±11.7 years. The most common primary cancers were kidney (10 patients) and lung (4 patients). Thirteen patients had a concurrent visceral metastasis and sixteen had metastasis in another bone. The tibial metastasis was the initial sign of cancer in seven patients. The surgical procedure was done to prevent an impending fracture in 19 patients and to treat a pathological fracture in 6 patients (initial sign of cancer in 4 patients). Osteolysis occurred in the proximal epiphysis/metaphysis in 12 patients, diaphysis in 9 patients and distal epiphysis/metaphysis in 4 patients. We performed fixation with a lateral cortex plate and cementoplasty in 14 patients, locked intramedullary nailing in 8 patients, cementoplasty only in 2 patients and knee arthroplasty in 1 patient. RESULTS: Three surgical site infections, one pulmonary embolism and one cardiac rhythm disturbance occurred. Four patients died before the 3rd month postoperative. At their best clinical status, 2 patients had not resumed walking, 10 could walk short distances with two canes or a walker, 3 had altered gait but could walk without aids and 6 could walk normally. The mean survival was 14±11.7 months (95% CI: 8.1-19.8) for all patients, 4±4 months (95% CI: 3-14) for those with a lung primary and 32±14 months (95% CI: 20-47) for those with a kidney primary. The survival was 15 months (95% CI: 4-29) after preventative treatment and 5 months (95% CI: 4-26) after fracture treatment. CONCLUSION: Our clinical outcomes are comparable overall to the three main published articles on this topic. The risk of infection and benefits of preventative fixation were apparent in our cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study.

INTRODUCTION: Onset of spinal bone metastasis is a turning point in the progression of tumoral disease; although incidence is increasing, management is not standardized. Various prognostic scores are available, but advances in medical and surgical treatment have made them less well adapted, and sometimes discordant for a given patient. It would therefore be useful to develop new prognostic instruments. The aim of the present study was to identify biologic risk factors for onset of postoperative complications and death following spinal bone metastasis surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective multicenter study included all patients operated on for spinal bone metastasis between November 2015 and May 2017. The main epidemiologic data and biologic data (CRP, albuminemia, calcemia) were collected preoperatively. Surgical strategy, death and/or postoperative complications were collected prospectively. RESULTS: Five of the initial 264 patients died during the immediate postoperative course, and 107 within 6 months. At 1 year, 57 patients remained alive. Twenty-six (10%) were lost to follow-up. Preoperative albuminemia<35g/L (29% of patients), calcemia>2.6 nmol/L (8%) and CRP>10mg/L (47.5%) were associated with significantly elevated mortality. Only CRP elevation correlated with postoperative complications rate. CONCLUSION: The study confirmed the prognostic value of 3 biologic parameters (CRP level, albuminemia, calcemia) for survival after spinal bone metastasis surgery. A hybrid score taking account of not only clinical but also biologic parameters should be developed to improve estimation of survival.

INTRODUCTION: The humerus is the second most common site for metastasis in the peripheral skeleton. These humeral metastases (HM) occur in the midshaft in 42% to 61% of cases and theproximal humerus in 32% to 45% of cases. They are often secondary to primary breast (17-31%), kidney (13-15%) or lung (11-24%) cancer. The optimal surgical treatment between intramedullary (IM) procedures, fixation or arthroplasty is still being debated. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that fixation and/or arthroplasty are safe and effective options for controlling pain and improving the patients' function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2004 and 2016, 11 French hospitals included 112 continuous cases of HM in 54 men (49%) and 57 women (51%). The average age was 63.7±13.4 years (30-94). The HM occurred in the context of primary breast (30%), lung (23%) or kidney (21%) cancers. The HM was proximal in 35% of cases, midshaft in 59% and distal in 7% of cases. Surgery was required in 69% of patients because of a pathological fracture. The surgical procedure consisted of bundle pinning, plate fixation, arthroplasty or locked IM nailing in 6%, 11%, 14% and 69% of patients, respectively. RESULTS: Seven patients (6%) had to be reoperated due to surgical site complications including two infections and four fractures (periprosthetic or away from implant). Twelve patients (11%) experienced a general complication. The overall survival was 16.7 months, which was negatively and significantly impacted by the occurrence of a fracture, a diaphyseal location and the type of primary cancer. At the final assessment, 75% had normal or subnormal function and more than 90% were pain-free or had less pain. The final function was not related to the occurrence of a fracture or etiology of the metastasis. In epiphyseal and metaphyseal HM, there was a trend to better function after shoulder arthroplasty than after plate fixation or IM nailing. CONCLUSIONS: Our initial hypothesis was confirmed. Our findings were consistent with those of other published studies. Based on our findings, we recommend using static locked IM nailing with cementoplasty for mid-shaft lesions and modular arthroplasty for destructive epiphyseal or metaphyso-epiphyseal lesions. The criteria for assessing humeral fracture risk should be updated to allow the introduction of a preventative procedure, which contributes to better survival. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study.

INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of peri-acetabular metastasis (PAM) is a turning point in the progression of cancer because the disabling pain prevents the patient from walking or makes it difficult. Recent progress in controlling cancers that spread to the bone and controlling local bone destruction justify this national study. Since the data in France is incomplete or based on small studies, we analysed a multicentre retrospective cohort of patients with PAM who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) to evaluate 1) the clinical and radiological outcomes and 2) the factors impacting patient survival. HYPOTHESIS: The clinical outcomes, complication rate and survivorship are comparable to that of recent published studies. METHODS: Ninety-one patients (27 men, 64 women) with a mean age of 62.7±10.5 years (extremes 38 and 88) with PAM secondary to breast cancer [42 patients (46%)] or lung cancer [20 patients (22%)] underwent THA. The metastasis was the first sign of cancer in 33 cases (36%). Concurrent visceral metastases were present in 30 patients (33%), multiple peripheral bone metastasis in 48 patients (53%) and synchronous spine metastasis in 39 patients (43%). The most common construct was a cemented stem with metal reinforcement cage and cemented dual mobility cup [71 times (78%), while 85/91 had a dual mobility cup (93%)]. RESULTS: Elimination or reduction of pain was reported in 81 patients (91%). Overall walking ability was deemed normal or acceptable in 74 patients (83%). Six patients died (7%) before the end of the 3rd month. There were seven general complications (8%) including five thromboembolic events. There were 22 complications related to the surgical procedure in 20 patients (22%) that required surgical revision, including 10 surgical site infections (11%) and 3 dislocations (3%) (one concerning a dual mobility cup and 2 after single mobility cup). The median survivorship all causes combined was 19.5 months; it was 23.7 months for patients with breast cancer and 8.9 months for those with lung cancer. CONCLUSION: Despite different endpoints being used, the clinical outcomes in our study are like those in other published studies, as were the incidence of surgery-related complications and the survivorship. The recommended surgical technique is the implantation of an acetabular reinforcement cage, curettage with cement filling of osteolytic areas, dual mobility cup and cemented stem followed by radiation therapy. The role of THA versus interventional radiology procedures must still be determined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study without control group.

INTRODUCTION: The proximal femur is the most frequent operative site for metastasis, but there is no consensus between internal fixation and hip replacement. The present multicenter retrospective observational study sought: (1) to compare early clinical results between internal fixation and hip replacement for proximal femoral metastasis (PFM), and (2) to assess events affecting survival. HYPOTHESIS: The study hypothesis was that internal fixation and hip replacement give comparable clinical results, operative site complications rates and survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The series comprised 309 cases, 10 of which were bilateral, in 182 females and 117 males, with a mean age of 67.2±11.5 years and 62.5±13.2 years, respectively. Primaries were mainly breast (118; 38.2%), lung (85; 25.5%) or kidney (40; 12.9%). PFM was revelatory in 114 cases (36.9%). There was visceral involvement in 142 patients (46%), multiple peripheral bone involvement in 212 (68.6%), and spinal involvement in 134 (43.4%). There were 124 pathologic fractures (40%), 51 of which were revelatory. Metastases were cervicocephalic in 135 cases (43.7%), metaphyseal in 166 (53.7%) and both in 8 (2.6%). PFM was osteolytic in 90% of cases, managed by hip replacement in 161 cases and internal fixation in 148 (12 screwed plates, 136 nails). Seventy-seven patients had postoperative radiation therapy. RESULTS: After hip replacement (n=144), walking was normal in 35 cases (24.3%), impaired but unassisted in 53 (36.8%), with 1 forearm crutch in 24 (16.6%), 2 crutches or a frame in 26 (18%), and impossible in 6 (4.1%). After nailing (n=125), results were respectively 38 (30.4%), 47 (37.6%), 15 (12%), 18 (14.4) and 7 (5.6%). Recovery of normal walking capacity did not significantly differ according to technique (p=0.162); nor did pain or function. Recovery of normal walking capacity was better after preventive surgery (p<0.001). Perioperative complications comprised: 10 cases of severe blood loss, 7 pulmonary embolisms, 6 digestive hemorrhages, and 5 lung infections. Secondarily, there were 11 infections (7 after hip replacement, 2 after nailing, 2 after plate fixation), 7 progressive osteolyses and 5 fractures. Complications rates were significantly higher with plate fixation, with no difference between nailing and hip replacement. Survival did not significantly differ between hip replacement (12 months [95% CI: 7-19]), nailing (7 months [95% CI: 6-11]) and plate fixation (16 months [95% CI: 6-not calculable]). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical results and survival were comparable between hip replacement and nailing, confirming the study hypothesis, in agreement with the literature. Each technique has its indications. Patients with severely impaired walking capacity benefited greatly from surgery. The importance of preventive surgery was highlighted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study.
