Introduction: Hemicortical resection is challenging when a huge fungating tumor is covering the osteotomy site. We report the clinical outcome of hemicortical resection and reconstruction for primary bone tumors, especially with high-grade histology and extensive circumferential involvement.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 44 patients (males, n = 18; females, n = 26) who underwent hemicortical resection from 2005 to 2014.

Results: The median follow-up period was 46.0 (23-178) months. Disease-specific, local recurrence-free, and metastasis-free survival rates of patients in the malignant group at 5 years were 96.6%, 84.5%, and 93.6%, respectively. Among 42 patients, there were local recurrences (n = 6), metastasis (n = 2), and death (n = 1). Surgical margin was an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence (hazard ratio = 5.7; p = 0.038). The recycled autograft and strut allograft groups did not show statistical difference in bone union. Failure rate was 31.8% and local recurrence was the most frequent, followed by infection.

Conclusion: Hemicortical resection can be a feasible option for extremity malignant bone tumors. Regarding reconstruction, there were no difference between autograft and allograft in bone union rate. Surgical margin was an independent prognostic factor for local recurrence.

Prognostic Factors Influencing Survival and Oncological Outcome in Patients with Parosteal Osteosarcoma.

Indian J Surg Oncol

This study aimed to evaluate the significance of radiological (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) findings, surgical, and previous interventions on prognosis with oncological and functional outcome in patients with parosteal osteosarcoma (POS). Twenty-seven patients (8 male/19 female) who were operated with the diagnosis of primary POS in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. The epidemiological data, biopsy method, misdiagnosis/improper interventions, and delay in diagnosis were noted.

Graft Survivals after Reconstruction Using Tumor-Bearing Frozen Bone in the Extremities.

Cancers (Basel)

August 2023

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa 920-8640, Japan.

Tumor-bearing frozen autografts have been widely used for reconstruction of bone defects caused by tumor resection. However, some patients undergo removal of the grafted bone due to surgical site infection, tumor recurrence, or fractures of the grafted bone. In this retrospective cohort study, predictive factors for graft survival were investigated in 123 patients who underwent reconstructions using a tumor-bearing frozen autograft after bone tumor resection of the extremities.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, and most of the reports have involved the head and neck, but it is rare for it to be highly invasive, with an invasion of long bone being extremely rare. A 73 year old woman presented with a giant BCC on her right arm. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested the involvement of the right humerus.

Background: Parosteal osteosarcoma (PAOS) is a surface osteosarcoma. Treatment options include wide excision and endoprosthetic or allograft. However, due to the low local recurrence and metastasis rate, when it appears in the posterior surface of the distal femur, the lesion can be managed with hemicortical wide resection and biological reconstruction with hemicortical allograft.
