Carbon fiber lumbopelvic reconstruction following sacral giant cell tumor resection: illustrative case. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The use of carbon fiber and polyetheretherketone for spine constructs is a safe and effective alternative to traditional metal alloys, offering similar strength and better fatigue resistance.
  • - A case report highlights a 25-year-old female treated for a sacral giant cell tumor using carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone for lumbopelvic reconstruction.
  • - Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone allows for improved imaging and tumor monitoring post-surgery, making it a reliable choice for complex spinal reconstructions.

Article Abstract

Background: The use of carbon fiber or polyetheretherketone spine constructs has proven to be a safe and effective alternative to standard metal alloy. The mechanical properties of carbon fiber while unique provide a construct that is comparable in strength to previous titanium-based constructs and have additionally shown greater fatigue resistance. These constructs have been especially useful for the mechanical stabilization of the spine following tumor resection. The subsequent interference seen when imaging a patient with a traditional metallic construct is reduced and allows for improved tumor surveillance after the procedure, and a more accurate delivery of radiotherapy when indicated.

Observations: This case report details the treatment of a 25-year-old female diagnosed with a sacral giant cell tumor. The authors discuss the use of a carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone for lumbopelvic reconstruction.

Lessons: Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone with its radiolucency and rigidity is a reliable option for complex spinal reconstruction after tumor resection.
