Background: This study aims to assess the clinical and oncologic outcomes of high-dose brachytherapy (BRT) versus both preoperative and postoperative external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in the setting of high-grade soft tissue sarcoma.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 144 patients treated surgically for soft tissue sarcoma at the same institution from 2010 to 2021. Patients treated for a soft tissue sarcoma with surgery and radiation therapy in the form of BRT, Neoadjuvant EBRT (Neo-EBRT) or adjuvant EBRT (AD-EBRT) were included.
Article Synopsis
- Limb salvage surgeries using endoprostheses and allografts are common for treating various cancers, but these procedures can fail for several reasons, which fall into mechanical, non-mechanical, and pediatric categories.
- The text emphasizes the need for clearer classification and understanding of failure modes in orthopedic oncologic surgeries to improve radiologists' ability to identify complications.
- The review aims to showcase key radiologic findings related to each failure type, discussing their risk factors, outcomes, and implications for treatment decisions like chemotherapy and revision surgery.
Case: This case report describes a patient who presented with clinical and radiographic features of a soft tissue sarcoma of the shoulder. Despite having a painless and relatively large mass, a biopsy and resection revealed nodular fasciitis (NF).
Conclusion: This is an unusual case of a painless 10 cm mass that histopathologically was diagnosed as NF in the upper extremity with proximity to the axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex vessels.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most commonly performed joint replacement procedure in North America. Few studies have successfully evaluated the episode-of-care cost (EOCC) of common elective orthopedic procedures using an activity-based costing (ABC) framework. The objective of this study is to compare the EOCC of same-day discharge versus inpatient TKA using an activity-based costing methodology.

For antibiotics to be effective, the local tissue concentration (LTC) must exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration of typical infecting organisms; however, the LTC of cefazolin during arthroplasty is poorly understood.
Objective: To compare the systemic concentration of cefazolin in serum with the LTC in fat, synovium, and bone during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) while assessing the effect of tourniquet inflation.
