Cementless Primary Stems in Revision Hip Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review.

Cementless primary stems in revision hip arthroplasties may be conservative options to preserve bone stock and provide adequate reconstruction of the hip biomechanics. However, there is still little evidence about indications, limitations, and outcomes. This narrative review showed that conventional standard stems were adopted in different revision settings, up to Paprosky IIIA grade bone defects.

Different reconstructive techniques for tumours of the distal tibia.

Aims: The aim of this study was to report the results of three forms of reconstruction for patients with a ditsl tibial bone tumour: an intercalary resection and reconstruction, an osteoarticular reconstruction, and arthrodesis of the ankle.

Methods: A total of 73 patients with a median age of 19 years (interquartile range (IQR) 14 to 36) were included in this retrospective, multicentre study.

Results: Reconstructions included intercalary resection in 17 patients, osteoarticular reconstruction in 11, and ankle arthrodesis in 45.

Femoral fracture in primary soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh treated with radiation therapy: indications for prophylactic intramedullary nail.

Introduction: Post-radiation fractures of the femur (PRF) are difficult to treat and are associated with a high risk of delayed union and non-union. We report a series of patients affected by soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the thigh, treated with limb-sparing surgery and perioperative radiotherapy (RT), to analyse post-radiotherapy femur fracture (FF) rate and its management.

Material And Methods: 547 patients treated with surgery and RT for a deep primary STS of the thigh were included.

Correction to: Intercalary bone graft of the tibia: case series and review of the literature.

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The spelling of the name 'Valerio Bochicchio' was incorrect.

Intercalary bone graft of the tibia: case series and review of the literature.

Aims: We report a series of patients treated with intercalary bone graft (IBG) of the tibia diaphysis (TD) after resection of primary bone tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mid- and long-term survival of TD IBG reconstruction in children and adults, characterizing patterns of success and failure.

Methods: A total of 35 patients were included in this retrospective study.
