Background: We tried to compare the functional and psychosocial outcomes after various reconstruction methods according to tumor location following resection of osteosarcoma in distal femur.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent limb-salvage surgery of osteosarcoma in distal femur in our institution, 30 males and 21 females with an average age of 21 years (range 13-51 years). We classified osteosarcoma in distal femur into 3 types, and organized affected limb reconstruction methods after wide resection.
Article Synopsis
- * Patients: Ten individuals (mostly young adults) were treated, and all of them healed after the first part of the surgery. They were followed for about 34 months.
- * Results: While some patients had complications and a few died due to the disease, others showed good recovery. Overall, the treatment seemed promising but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
- Giant cell tumors (GCT) around the knee can be tricky to treat, especially the more serious grade III type, which makes surgery and recovery important.
- In a study with eight patients aged 20 to 43, doctors used a special method called alcohol inactivated autograft-prosthesis composite to help repair the knee after removing the tumor.
- After about 54 months of follow-up, none of the patients had any return of the cancer, and they regained good function in their legs, showing that this technique works well for treating grade III GCT.
Background: Giant cell tumor of the sacrum, especially involving the sacroiliac joint, is rare, but is particularly challenging to treat. The long term outcome of a patient was studied with giant cell tumor involving the sacroiliac joint treated with selective arterial embolization and curretage.
Method: One patient with giant cell tumor involving the sacroiliac joint was treated with selective arterial embolization and curettage in our hospital in October 2002.
Objective: To study the long-term outcomes and complications of giant cell tumors around the knee treated with en bloc resection and reconstruction with prosthesis.
Methods: From January 1991 to March 2005, 19 patients (11 men, 8 women, average age 35.4 years) were treated in our hospital with en bloc resection and reconstruction with domestic prosthesis (15 hinge knee and 4 rotating-hinge knee).
