Functional outcome and quality of life following resection of the proximal humerus performed for musculoskeletal tumors and reconstruction done by four different methods.

Introduction: The proximal humerus is a frequent site for both primary and secondary bone tumors. Several options are currently available to reconstruct the resected humerus, but there is no consensus regarding optimal reconstruction. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the functional outcome, complications and patient compliance following four different types of reconstructive techniques.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PROXIMAL FEMUR FRACTURE IN OLDER ADULTS IN A PHILANTHROPICAL HOSPITAL IN SÃO PAULO.

Objective: To evaluate the age and anthropometry profile of patients with a diagnosis of fracture of the proximal femur in older adults admitted to a philanthropic hospital in São Paulo.

Methods: Retrospective observational cross-sectional study. All patients older than 59 years with femoral fractures diagnosed and hospitalized between January, 2019 and April, 2020 were included.

The Activation of PDGFRβ on Mononuclear Stromal/Tumor Cells in Giant Cell Tumor of Bone After Denosumab Treatment. An Immunohistochemical Study of Five Cases.

Due to the relatively high recurrence rate and the destructive nature of the tumor, the treatment of giant cell tumor is still a challenge. Denosumab appeared to be a promising candidate as a therapeutic drug. However, several studies have reported that tumors can recur during/after treatment with denosumab.

Extra-abdominal desmoid tumor fibromatosis: a multicenter EMSOS study.

Background: Extra-abdominal desmoid tumor fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare, locally aggressive soft tissue tumour. The best treatment modality for this patient cohort is still object of debate.

Questions/purpose: This paper aimed to (1) to compare the outcomes of DTF after different treatment modalities, (2) to assess prognostic factors for recurrence following surgical excision, and (3) to assess prognostic factors for progression during observation.

[Extracorporeal irradiation: biological reconstruction following tumor resection with a large bone defect].

Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. A malignus csonttumorok sebészi ellátása során kialakuló szegmentális csontdefektusok pótlása fontos szempont a végtagmegtartó sebészetben. Felnőttkorban a megoldás rendszerint tumorprotézis beültetése, 10 évesnél fiatalabb gyermekeknél azonban ez nehezen alkalmazható módszer a kis csontméret és az igen magas várható szövődményarány miatt.
