The own experience in femoral bone metastases treatment.

Background. The objective of this paper is an efficacy analysis of surgical treatment of femoral bone cancer metasases depending on surgical technique and tumor localisation.
Material and methods.

[Multicentric giant cell tumour. The case report].

The case of a 28 year old woman with multicentric giant cell bone tumours was described. Seven tumours' locations were found: Th3, the right and left humerus and tibia, the right femur and the right hip bone. All tumours were treated by a local resection with a following alcohol adjuvant therapy.

[Radiotherapy as prevention of heterotopic ossification--preliminary results].

Heterotopic ossification is a common complication of hip arthroplasty (35-57%) and multifragmental acetabular fractures (50-70%). Due to complication level and cost of surgery in this region, more popular become methods of heterotopic ossification prevention as well as non-steroid anti inflammatory drug intake and radiotherapy (approximately 90% effectiveness in high risk groups). Presented material comprises 22 cases irradiated using a dose of 6-7 Gy delivered in one fraction to prevent ossification or to stop active process.
