Article Synopsis
- Achieving strong bone fixation in cases of megaprosthesis revision is challenging due to significant bone loss.
- A custom-made stem and cone were developed for a 36-year-old male with a failed distal femoral replacement after osteosarcoma treatment, preserving bone stock in the proximal femur.
- The patient regained normal function without assistive devices, and follow-up imaging confirmed stable implant fixation after one year, showcasing the effectiveness of the custom cone in avoiding a total femoral replacement.
Background: Metastasis to the bone is one of the most common complications associated with advanced cancer. Patients with bone metastases are at risk of devastating skeletal related events, including pathological fractures.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of zoledronic acid (ZA) versus denosumab in the prevention of pathological fractures in patients with bone metastases from advanced cancers by evaluating all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this subject.
Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support provides prolonged support in the event of acute or acute-on-chronic cardiac and/or respiratory failure. This support serves as a bridge to recovery, decision-making, heart transplantation or ventricular-assist device implantation. It can be implanted either through a percutaneous approach using Seldinger's technique or via an open approach via the common femoral artery or the axillary artery.
