Unlabelled: Early periprosthetic osteolysis following total hip replacement (THR) as a result of septic etiology has been well understood. Periprosthetic bone loss as a result of metastatic infiltration is an uncommon and infrequent cause of early, progressive loosening of joint replacement prosthesis. Proximal femur has been the most common site of involvement compared to acetabular prosthesis. The rarity of this clinical entity can lead to delay in definitive diagnosis and management, thus affecting the final outcome. Breast is the commonest site of carcinoma in female patients despite which not many cases of periprosthetic metastasis have been reported in the literature. We present the first case of extensive, isolated periacetabular bone destruction following a THR in a 59 years old female patient with a history of breast carcinoma. Patients with known primary malignancy should be screened thoroughly before operation and should be followed regularly after joint replacement surgery to detect any metastatic foci around the prosthesis.

Orthopedics and Traumatology Department, Bucharest Emergency University Hospital, Bucharest, ROU.
Background And Objectives: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) that occur after hip and knee arthroplasty have a major influence on patient outcomes and healthcare expenses. This study assesses the effectiveness of the PJI tumor, node, and metastasis (PJI-TNM) categorization system and the latest developments in local antibiotic delivery methods for the treatment of PJIs.
Materials And Methods: The study involved a retrospective analysis of 23 patients who received treatment for septic hip or knee prostheses at the SUUB Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic between January 1, 2022, and February 10, 2024.

Background: Surgical treatment of musculoskeletal tumors in the periacetabular region present extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy and need for reconstruction. Orthopedic surgeons face more difficulties in patients with neurological conditions, which can cause increased muscle tone, an elevated risk of fractures, and compromised bone quality. There is limited evidence regarding endoprosthetic reconstruction for periacetabular tumors in individuals with neurological disorders.

Objective: Treating pediatric osteosarcoma in long bones is challenging due to skeletal immaturity, which restricts the generalizability of insights derived from adult patients. Are there disparities in outcomes? How should surgical protocols be tailored for children of varying ages? What are the specific postoperative complications? A large single-center retrospective cohort study of 345 patients under 14 years old with lower-limb osteosarcoma treated in our department since 2000 was conducted to address these inquiries.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 345 pediatric patients with lower-limb osteosarcoma admitted to our department between 2000 and 2019 was conducted.

When malignant tumors infiltrate the psoas muscle, they can result in what is referred to as malignant psoas syndrome (MPS). We are reporting this case as the malignant tumor had invaded the psoas muscle, and the clinical course of the patient differed from that of typical MPS. A 75-year-old male patient with liver cancer presented with pain around the right hip joint and difficulty in flexing the right hip joint, resulting in gait disturbance.

Objective: To explore the design points of a three-dimensional (3D) printed customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem and to evaluate the key points and mid-term effectiveness of its application in the reconstruction of ultrashort bone segments in the proximal femur.
Methods: Between October 2015 and January 2021, 17 patients underwent reconstruction with a 3D printed-customized cementless intercalary endoprosthesis with an intra-neck curved stem. There were 11 males and 6 females, the age ranged from 10 to 76 years, with an average of 30.
