Article Synopsis
- Proximal femoral replacement (PFR) is a surgical technique used after tumor removal or failed hip replacements, but the risk of prosthetic instability is higher when there’s significant bone or soft tissue loss.
- This study analyzed the outcomes of PFR among 106 patients over 15 years, categorizing them by the type of implant used: bipolar, constrained, or dual mobility.
- Results showed that dual mobility implants had a longer time to dislocation and that smoking history and BMI differed among the groups, but all types had similar rates of early dislocation overall.
Article Synopsis
- Internal hemipelvectomy is a surgery used to remove tumors from the pelvic area without losing a limb, but it can be tricky due to the complex areas involved.
- The study looked at patients who had this surgery and how well they did afterward, focusing on issues like complications and recovery.
- Researchers also reviewed other studies to gather more information on patient outcomes after this type of surgery.
Background And Objectives: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a frequent subtype within the heterogeneous group of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). The use of radiotherapy (RT) has become an important component of a multimodal approach to treating STS. Key studies have demonstrated that the addition of RT improves rates of local control in STS, though the effect on overall survival (OS) is less clear.

As such, surgeon experience and technique invariably affect patient outcomes. The aim of this clinical study was to assess how an individual surgeon's experiences and advancements in technology and techniques in the treatment of internal hemipelvectomy have impacted patient outcomes at our institution.
