Non‑surgical outcomes and risk factors for pulmonary metastasis from giant cell tumor of bone.

The present study detailed four factors associated with an increased risk of pulmonary metastasis, age, pathological fracture, local recurrence and mode of treatment. Local recurrence and pathological fracture were independent risk factors for developing metastasis. From January 2016 to December 2021, data from 50 patients diagnosed with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) treated in Khon Kaen Hospital, Thailand, were retrospectively analyzed.

Recurrence Leiomyosarcoma of the Popliteal Vein: A Rare Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Background: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma that originates from smooth muscle cells and constitutes approximately 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Vascular LMS is the least common subtype of LMS. About one-third of vascular LMS is located in the extremities, most commonly in the saphenous vein (25%).

Clinical outcomes of extended intralesional curettage with cementation without implant augmentation in non-fracture giant cell tumor of bone around the knee.

There remains a lack of consensus regarding the necessity of implant augmentation or fixation after intralesional curettage in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) around the knee. This study assessed whether cementation alone is effective and safe in GCTB with a non-fracture around the knee. We retrospectively examined clinical data from 14 GCTB patients treated from 2012 to 2022.

Surgical correction of coxa vara: Evaluation of neck shaft angle, Hilgenreiner-epiphyseal angle for indication of recurrence.

Background: Coxa vara is a hip deformity in which the femoral neck-shaft angle decreases below its normal value. Standard surgical treatment for this condition is corrective valgus osteotomy. Appropriate correction of the Hilgenreiner-epiphyseal angle is important to prevent recurrence.
