Long-term Outcome of Total Femur Replacement.

Introduction: Total femur replacement is an option instead of amputation for extensive bone tumour or after revision surgery with a massive bone loss. Over a long period of time the patients may need revision surgery, and this might affect the functional outcome. We reviewed all consecutive total femur replacements done for primary and revision surgery of primary bone tumours in our centre to evaluate the long-term functional outcome and survival.

Iliac Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma - A Rare Presentation and Diagnostic Pitfall: A Case Report.

Telangiectatic osteosarcoma is a rare variant of osteosarcoma and can be easily misdiagnosed as aneurysmal bone cyst. We report an atypical case of iliac telangiectatic osteosarcoma in a young healthy female, who presents with painful slow growing expansile lytic septate lesion in the left hemipelvis, which is initially treated as aneurysmal bone cyst. The diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst is made after histopathological examination of core needle biopsy.

Functional Outcome after Treatment of Aggressive Tumours in the Distal Radius: Comparison between Reconstruction using Proximal Fibular Graft and Wrist Fusion.

Restoration of a functional hand is the ultimate goal following a distal radius tumour resection. The early outcomes of mobile wrist reconstruction are satisfactory; however, long-term results are unpredictable due to late wrist instability and degenerative arthritis. Our aim is to compare mobile wrist reconstruction with wrist fusion (pan-carpal fusion) in our cohort of patients.

Prognostic factors and survival rate of osteosarcoma: A single-institution study.

Aim: Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant primary bone tumor. The study aim to evaluate the prognostic factors influencing the survival rate in our center.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients treated between January 2005 and December 2010.
