Early osteointegration in "one-step" resection and reconstruction using porous hydroxyapatite custom implants for skull-infiltrating tumors: a monocentric prospective series.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
November 2024
Background: Early reconstruction of the skull represents the gold standard after resection of bone infiltrating cranial tumors. Customized hydroxyapatite porous ceramics are an excellent option for covering skull bone defects. The authors illustrate the surgical technique and investigate the effectiveness of the "one-step" procedure in terms of aesthetic results and early degree of osteointegration.

Article Synopsis
- Pure germinoma is a rare brain tumor that usually starts in the middle of the brain; sometimes it can be found in two places at once or outside the usual spots, which is very uncommon.
- Researchers reviewed many studies to look at how doctors diagnose and treat patients with these rare brain tumors and to find ways to help them faster.
- The review showed that most patients needed a biopsy (taking a small sample for testing), and many had these tumors in unusual places, which can make it hard to find and treat them quickly.
Purpose: In the management of bariatric surgery follow-up, a multidisciplinary approach allows to evaluate the weight loss maintenance and the dietary and lifestyle changes adherence. The main aim of this study is to create and to validate a questionnaire (eating behavior after bariatric surgery (EBBS)) to objectivize the compliance to dietary/lifestyle suggestions after bariatric surgery.
Materials And Methods: An observational retrospective monocentric clinical trial was carried out at the Bariatric Surgery Unit of Modena, Italy.
Case report of Kummell's disease with delayed onset myelopathy and the literature review.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
February 2018
Introduction: Kummell's disease is an avascular necrosis of the vertebral body, secondary to a vertebral compression fracture. This entity is characterised by the gradual development in time of a vertebral body collapse following a trivial spinal trauma, involving a worsening back pain associated with a progressive kyphosis.
Purposes: The aim of this article is to carry out an international literature review regarding Kummell's disease, addressing its physiopathology, histopathology, clinical presentation, radiological characteristics and treatment modalities; at the same time, the literature is updated through the description of a new and interesting case, symbol of the pathology long-term potential complications, if not diagnosed and therefore not suitably treated.
