Aims: The aim of this study is to assess outcomes of patients ≤12 years who undergo Stanmore noninvasive extendible endoprosthetic replacement of the distal femur (DF NIEPR).
Patients And Methods: A total of 101 children (mean age 9.6 years) were included. All complications which required further surgery were recorded. Clinical and functional outcomes were evaluated with Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores at a mean follow-up of 64 months (range 6-174).
Results: Thirty-one (30.7%) patients died at a mean of 33 months. Forty had prosthesis removed after a mean of 43 months (range, 7-103). Attaining of the full lengthening potential before skeletal maturity was the most frequent reason for revision surgery, particularly in those with smaller lengthening potential (P = 0.039). Implant survival rate for other causes was 61.7% at 5 years and 45.0% at 10 years. At final follow-up mean MSTS score was 26 (range, 13-29). Twenty-two (21.5%) patients had a final limb-length discrepancy (LLD) > 2 cm.
Conclusions: DF NIEPR produces a good functional outcome, with the prevention of major LLD at skeletal maturity in the majority of the cases. We suggest patient selection criteria to account for the stage of the disease due to the high cost of the NIEPR, and high percentage requiring revision, and a 60% mortality rate in those patients presenting with distant disease burden.

A scoring system to evaluate stability of percutaneous osseointegrated implants for transfemoral amputation with validation in the ITAP clinical trial.

Percutaneous osseointegrated implants for individuals with lower limb amputation can increase mobility, reduce socket related pain, and improve quality of life. It would be useful to have an evaluation method to assess the interface between bone and implant. We assessed outpatient radiographs from the Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis clinical trial using an interface scoring system which summed and weighted equally measures of implant collar cortical ongrowth and radiolucency along the implant stem/bone interface.

Nucleus replacement has been proposed as a treatment to restore biomechanics and relieve pain in degenerate intervertebral discs (IVDs). Multiple nucleus replacement devices (NRDs) have been developed, however, none are currently used routinely in clinic. A better understanding of the interactions between NRDs and surrounding tissues may provide insight into the causes of implant failure and provide target properties for future NRD designs.

Medical imaging modalities that calculate tissue morphology alone cannot provide direct information regarding the mechanical behaviour of load-bearing musculoskeletal organs. Accurate in vivo measurement of spine kinematics and intervertebral disc (IVD) strains can provide important information regarding the mechanical behaviour of the spine, help to investigate the effects of injuries on the mechanics of the spine, and assess the effectiveness of treatments. Additionally, strains can serve as a functional biomechanical marker for detecting normal and pathologic tissues.

Background: High-quality evidence is lacking to support one treatment strategy over another in patients with foot drop due to peroneal nerve entrapment. This leads to strong variation in daily practice.
Methods/design: The FOOTDROP (Follow-up and Outcome of Operative Treatment with Decompressive Release Of The Peroneal nerve) trial is a randomized, multi-centre study in which patients with peroneal nerve entrapment and persistent foot drop, despite initial conservative treatment, will be randomized 10 (± 4) weeks after onset between non-invasive treatment and surgical decompression.
Long-term outcomes of non-invasive expandable endoprostheses for primary malignant tumors around the knee in skeletally-immature patients.

Introduction: Expandable endoprostheses are used to restore limb function and compensate for the sacrifice physis involved in carcinologic resection. Long-term outcomes of the last generation of knee "non-invasive" expandable endoprostheses are required. Objectives were to report on oncologic results of bone sarcoma resection around the knee with expandable endoprosthesis reconstruction and to compare the surgical outcomes of the "non-invasive" expandable endoprostheses used in our department.
