Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of acetabular reconstruction using a reconstructive cage, combined with microwave ablation, for patients with periacetabular bone defects due to metastatic disease.
- In a review of 17 patients, results showed significant pain relief, with an average VAS score dropping from 7.7 to 2.2 post-surgery, and most patients able to walk independently or with aids.
- The overall survival rates indicated 40.9% at 12 months and 30.7% at 36 months, suggesting that this surgical method may offer benefits in pain management and functional recovery for selected patients.
Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive neoplasm with a high propensity for recurrence following intralesional curettage. The introduction of denosumab, a RANKL inhibitor, has shown potential in facilitating joint-sparing surgery. However, concerns exist regarding its impact on local recurrence rates.

The influence of marine phytoplankton on the photochemistry of antimony was confirmed for the first time. The conversion ratio of Sb(III) to Sb(V) increased with increasing algae concentration and irradiation time.
