Intermediate-term results and risk factors analysis of tumor endoprosthesis in paediatric patients after the resection of lower extremity bone sarcoma.

Background: Mechanical failure of the endoprostheses is a concern in paediatric patients with primary bone sarcoma. Their long-term results are variable in the Asian population, thus we aim to investigate the outcome by assessing the mechanical failure, its risk factors and the functional results.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 38 paediatric patients (mean 13.

Expanding the spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms with NR1D1-rearrangement.

Undifferentiated mesenchymal neoplasms can be morphologically subclassified based on cell shape; epithelioid tumors may be diagnostically challenging, particularly since they can show morphologic and immunohistochemical overlap with epithelial neoplasms. Following the recent report of an NR1D1::MAML1 gene fusion in an undifferentiated pediatric neoplasm, we performed a retrospective archival review and identified four additional cases of undifferentiated mesenchymal neoplasms with NR1D1-rearrangement. All four tumors occurred in adult women.

Local Recurrence After Minimally Invasive Curettage For Primary Giant Cell Tumor of Bone With Perioperative Bisphosphonate Is Comparable to Open Curettage: Retrospective Comparison With 9-Year Follow-Up.

Purpose: To compare the long-term oncological outcome of minimally invasive curettage (MIC) with conventional open curettage (OC).

Methods: We studied patients with primary giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) of extremities who underwent intralesional tumor curettage and cementation and perioperative bisphosphonates from February 2003 to June 2016. All cases were histology-confirmed diagnoses of GCTB.

Long-term outcome of vascularized iliac bone grafting for osteonecrosis of femoral head: A retrospective study with 17-year follow-up.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the long-term results of vascularized iliac bone grafting (VIBG) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The primary outcome is the long-term survivorship of VIBG, using conversion to total hip arthroplasty as an end-point. Secondly, this study will also analyse the patient or disease factors influencing the long-term survivorship of VIBG.
