Massive osteolytic bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty has been an uncommon challenge. From 2001 to 2002, 11 knees in 10 patients underwent revision of failed modular PFC (Johnson and Johnson Orthopaedics, Raynham, Mass) total knee arthroplasties with distal femoral allografts and long-stemmed revision implants for massive osteolytic induced femoral bone loss. The mean follow-up was 42 months (range, 36-48 months). Radiographic graft incorporation was demonstrated in all 11 knees with no cases of loosening. The Knee Society Pain Scores improved by an average of 25.4 points, and the function scores improved by an average of 23.3 points. The outcomes of distal femoral allografts in the reconstruction of massive osteolytic bone loss associated with failed modular PFC (Johnson and Johnson Orthopaedics) total knee arthroplasties are favorable.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of intercalary frozen autograft and allograft reconstruction for primary malignant bone tumors.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 144 patients who underwent intercalary biological reconstruction for primary malignant bone tumors at a single institution between January 2012 and July 2023. Seventy-two patients underwent intercalary liquid nitrogen-frozen autograft reconstruction, and 72 patients underwent intercalary allograft reconstruction in this study.

Article Synopsis
  • Acetabular bone defect reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA) presents significant challenges, with traditional methods often leading to complications like bone resorption and limb length discrepancies.
  • A new technique called extra-articular blocking was introduced, offering a simple and cost-effective solution for reconstructing massive acetabular defects associated with various medical conditions.
  • Initial results show that this technique promotes effective healing without bone loss or complications, achieving a 100% survival rate for the acetabular component after three months post-surgery.

A Case of Recurrence of Benign Convexity Primary Intraosseous Meningioma.

NMC Case Rep J

January 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Handa City Hospital, Handa, Aichi, Japan.

Meningiomas originating within the bones of the skull are rare and have been reported as primary intraosseous meningiomas (PIOM). Moreover, PIOMs with a skull base location or malignant pathology are predisposed to recurrence; however, recurrence is quite rare among PIOMs characterized by a convexity location and benign pathology. Here, we present a case of extensive recurrence of a convex intraosseous meningioma with benign pathology.

Talar and fibular histiocytic-driven massive expansile osteolysis following polyetheretherketone interference screw implantation: a case report.

J ISAKOS

June 2024

Foot and Ankle Division, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York City, 10002, USA. Electronic address:

Numerous interference screws of different compositions exist including titanium screws, bioabsorbable screws, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screws. PEEK-based implants are frequently used in orthopaedic surgery due to their biocompatibility, similar elastic modulus to cortical bone, and purported negligible risk of osteolysis compared with bioabsorbable screws. In this case report, we present the case of a 48-year-old healthy female who experienced a massive osteolytic reaction in the talus and fibula after 11 weeks following implantation of PEEK-based interference screws during lateral ankle ligament reconstruction.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare mesenchymal tumor of vascular endothelial origin. Non-soft tissue epithelioid hemangioendothelioma can also be seen in different organs. Although chemotherapy has been used in some patients, complete surgical removal of the tumor tissue has proven to be the most durable solution.
