Sclerotherapy as a primary or salvage procedure for aneurysmal bone cysts: A single-center experience.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign cystic bone tumors of an osteolytic and locally aggressive nature. As an alternative to the primary treatment of choice, which consists of curettage with bone grafting, alternative treatment methods with promising results have been described. At our department, we have, in recent years, used percutaneous sclerotherapy with polidocanol.

Effect of negative pressure wound therapy after surgical removal of deep-seated high-malignant soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities and trunk wall-study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin in the musculoskeletal system. The main treatment is surgery often supplemented with pre-or postoperative radiotherapy. A retrospective study by Bedi et al.

Clinical outcome after surgery on schwannomas in the extremities.

Background: Schwannoma is a benign, encapsulated and slowly growing tumor originating from Schwann cells and is rarely seen in the peripheral nerve system. Typical symptoms are soreness, radiating pain and sensory loss combined with a soft tissue mass.

Aim: To evaluate pre- and postoperative symptoms in patients operated for schwannomas in the extremities and investigate the rate of malignant transformation.

[Amputation of the forefoot in a 14-year-old boy due to infiltrative glomus tumour].

Glomus tumours are rare dermal tumours, which very seldom can be seen viscerally. The majority is benign small tumours of the skin. Malignancy has been reported in very few cases worldwide.

Outcome of revision total knee arthroplasty with the use of trabecular metal cone for reconstruction of severe bone loss at the proximal tibia.

Background: The relative effectiveness of different methods for reconstructing large bone loss at the proximal tibia in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) has not been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome after the use of trabecular metal technology (TMT) cones for the reconstruction of tibial bone loss at the time of rTKA.

Methods: Thirty-six patients had rTKA with the use of a TMT Cone.

Revision total knee arthroplasty with the use of trabecular metal cones: a randomized radiostereometric analysis with 2 years of follow-up.

"Trabecular Metal Cone" (TM Cone) (Zimmer, Inc, Warsaw, Ind) for reconstruction of bone loss in the proximal tibia during revision total knee arthroplasty is now optional. Forty patients were randomized to receive revision total knee arthroplasty with or without TM Cone (No TM Cone). The Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute bone loss classification and NexGen revision system were used.

Bone mineral density changes of the proximal tibia after revision total knee arthroplasty. A randomised study with the use of porous tantalum metaphyseal cones.

Purpose: Forty patients were enrolled in a prospective randomised study using conventional method or "Trabecular Metal Cone" (TM Cone) (Zimmer inc., Warsaw, USA) for reconstruction of bone loss of the proximal tibia during revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). The aim was to evaluate changes in bone mineral density (BMD) at the proximal tibia.

Changes in bone mineral density of the distal femur after revision total knee arthroplasty with metaphyseal press-fit stem.

Background: The effect of postoperative adaptive bone remodeling following a stemmed femoral implant in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) changes of the distal femur following cemented rTKA with a 100-mm press-fit stem.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen consecutive patients were included in the study (age range 40-85 years; mean 63.

Outcome of isolated tibial polyethylene insert exchange after uncemented total knee arthroplasty: 27 patients followed for 8-71 months.

Background: The outcome of performing isolated tibial polyethylene insert exchange (ITPIE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is under debate. We evaluated the survival probability of ITPE after uncemented TKA.

Method: 27 patients (27 knees) with an ITPIE performed mean 9 (0.

[Risk factors for osteoarthritis of the knee: current status].

The development of arthrosis is best understood paradigmatically as the result of an interaction between individual and systemic risk factors. This review of the current literature on the subject identifies overweight, occupational exposure to repeated daily lifting and the postmenopausal decline in gonadal steroids in women as significant risk factors for the development of symptomatic and radiologic osteoarthritis of the knee.
