Partial replacement of pelvis with the hip joint in osteosarcoma treatment: A case report.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Introduction
and importance: Pelvic osteosarcoma is quite rare and is a challenging task for orthopedic surgeons. This aim of this study is to present the first case report using customized 3D-printed prosthesis in Vietnam.Case presentation
57-year-old male was diagnosed with pelvic osteosarcoma. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, we did limb-salvage surgery after partial pelvic resection. He had to undergo another surgery due to an infection complication that exposed part of the prosthesis. At 6 months follow-up, the patient's overall status was stable. VAS score when moving is 2/10. He can walk with one crutch. Patient is still being followed up and treated.Clinincal discussion
Management of pelvic osteosarcoma remains a challenging task for orthopedic surgeons. Advancements in customized 3D-printed prosthesis have been applied in treatment of pelvic osteosarcoma. Despite the complications, the results are promising. We believe that this is a new and innovative route in surgery of pelvic osteosarcoma.Conclusion
Using customized 3D-printed prosthesis is a good way for management of pelvic osteosarcoma.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: We present the case of a patient with exertional fat embolism on isolated exercise of his right leg two and four months after right total hip joint replacement. His immediate post-operative period had also been complicated by an acute episode of chest pain and hypotension, treated as acute coronary syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of exertional fat embolism following orthopedic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old Caucasian man underwent elective cementless total right hip joint replacement. His acute post-operative period was complicated by an episode of chest pain and hypotension. This was treated as acute coronary syndrome. Two months later, a routine stress echocardiography demonstrated a shower of small, echodense bubbles in his right heart, reproduced on exercise of his right leg but not his left. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography excluded pulmonary thromboemboli. A technetium-99m colloid scan confirmed pulmonary fat emboli. Similar findings occurred again four months after the operation but had resolved at six months. CONCLUSIONS: Fat embolism is a well-described phenomenon in the acute setting after long-bone trauma or intramedullary manipulation, and the rare fat embolism syndrome can be fatal. Exertional fat embolism months after joint replacement, however, is an undescribed phenomenon that may have implications in the sub-acute post-operative phase. This may be of particular interest to those involved in orthopedics, cardiology and rehabilitation, but the large volume of patients undergoing joint replacements may broaden the clinical scope of this unusual presentation far beyond these specialties.

Project description:Acute hip pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) could have numerous causes to include stress fracture of the pelvis. Stress fractures of the pelvis are rare and have been reported to involve the medial wall and the pubic ramus. A unique case is presented demonstrating the clinical presentation and management of an acute stress fracture of ilium and anterior column following a THA.A 72-year-old man underwent an uncomplicated right THA. He was noted to have femoral head resorption and thin osteoporotic bone intraoperatively. He initially did well postoperatively and ambulating without pain or assistive devices. Within 1 month of surgery, he returned with acute right hip pain without any traumatic event. Radiographs showed migration of the acetabular component and computed tomography scan confirmed a fracture through the ilium. The patient underwent revision surgery, where the fracture was reduced and internal fixation was achieved with a reconstruction plate and acetabular cage construct. At 9 months postoperatively, the patient remained pain-free with full weight bearing and with stable radiographs.Elderly patients who undergo THA may have low bone mineral density. These patients can develop stress fractures in their pelvis after surgery. These fractures may involve the medial wall, posterior column, or posterior wall. In patients who develop atraumatic pain postoperatively, it is important to consider for potential stress fractures of the ilium and evaluate appropriately with imaging. In these cases, revision surgery can be necessary to provide fixation of the stress fracture.

Project description:Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a common type of carcinoma worldwide, and it is rare to find it metastasize to the brain. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging treatment for patients. Our department treated a patient with Urothelial carcinoma (UC) that metastazied to the brain with Disitamab Vedotin. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review and share this rare carcinoma case treated in our department, and to have a deep understanding of Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) so that we can improve treatment for Urothelial carcinoma (UC). Informed consent was granted by the patient to share the case information.

Project description:Background:Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) typically responds to heparin termination. Some types of HIT can persist after heparin discontinuation. Case summary:A 95-year-old woman was referred to the cardiology from orthopaedics because of acute limb ischaemia (ALI) 1?day after surgery of a femoral neck fracture. Despite thrombectomy, ALI relapsed the next day. She had been treated with intravenous antibiotics with a diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia for 1?week until 3?days before surgery, together with heparin flush twice a day. Of note, no intra-/post-operative heparin was administered, no cell salvage device, central venous, nor arterial catheters were used before development of ALI. The patient and her family refused reattempting invasive therapies; consequently, the patient continued to worsen and died on post-operative day 3. Diagnosis of autoimmune HIT, which was prompted by surgery without re-exposure to heparin, was confirmed posthumously. Discussion:This case emphasizes the significance of suspecting autoimmune HIT in any patient presenting with thrombosis, even if the heparin exposure dates back more than a few days or even without heparin exposure.

Project description:Risk factors to explain the poor survival of patients with osteosarcoma of the pelvis are poorly understood. Therefore, we attempted to identify factors affecting survival and development of local recurrence and metastasis. We retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who had high-grade pelvic tumors and were treated surgically. Twenty lesions were chondroblastic, 10 fibroblastic, 11 osteoblastic, and one each was giant cell-rich and small cell osteosarcomas. At a median of 3.5 years (range, 0.3-21 years) postoperatively, 13 patients were alive with no evidence of disease. The overall and disease-free 5-year survival rates were 38% and 29%, respectively, at 5 years. Anatomic location, tumor size, and margin predicted survival. Fifteen patients (35%) had local recurrence. The 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence with death as a competing risk factor was 34%. Location in the ilium and size of the tumor predicted local recurrence. Twenty-one (49%) of 43 patients had metastases develop. The cumulative incidence of metastasis with death as a competing risk factor was 48% at 5 years. Six patients who presented with metastasis had a worse survival than patients who had no evidence of metastasis at presentation (2-year survival, 33% versus 76%). If distant metastasis is diagnosed subsequent to primary treatment, aggressive therapy may be justified.Level II, prognostic study.

Project description:BackgroundHip and knee arthroplasties are common and successful procedures, however, success and durability are not guaranteed. The revision burden, defined as the ratio of implant revisions to the total number of arthroplasties in a specific period, is a measure of the steady state of arthroplasty success in a given registry. This study examines the hypothesis that revision burden would be similar among contemporary joint replacement registries and improving over time compared with historic controls.MethodsWe evaluated the national joint registries of 5 health systems (Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry [AOANJRR]; National Joint Registry of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man; New Zealand Joint Registry [NZJR]; Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register [SHAR] and Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register [SKAR]; and the American Joint Replacement Registry [AJRR]) for hip and knee revision burden over the past 4 years or since registry inception. Historic controls were obtained from previously published reports.ResultsThe 2014 hip revision burden varied from 9.7 percent (NJR) to 11.9 percent (NZJR), and the unweighted average was 10.4 percent. The 2011, 2012, and 2013 mean hip revision burden was 11.9, 11.9, and 11.4 percent. The 2014 knee revision burden varied from to 6.0 percent (NJR) to 8.1 percent (AJRR), and the unweighted average for the 5 registries studied was 7.0 percent. The 2011, 2012, and 2013 mean knee revision burden was 6.9, 7.0, and 7.0 percent. Historically, the observed hip revision burden was 15.8 percent and the knee revision burden 8.0 percent.ConclusionsRevision burden has gradually decreased for hip replacements and has remained relatively constant for knee replacements both for the last 4 years and compared to historic controls. Knee revision burden was lower than hip revision burden for each period examined. Revision burden is one measure that may be helpful in following the effect of changes in surgical technique and implant design over time in registry populations and may be a helpful way to compare overall results between registries.

Project description:ImportanceThere are marked racial/ethnic differences in hip and knee joint replacement care as well as concerns that value-based payments may exacerbate existing racial/ethnic disparities in care.ObjectiveTo examine changes in joint replacement care associated with Medicare's Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model among White, Black, and Hispanic patients.Design, setting, and participantsRetrospective cohort study of Medicare claims from 2013 through 2017 among White, Black, and Hispanic patients undergoing joint replacement in 67 treatment (selected for CJR participation) and 103 control metropolitan statistical areas.ExposuresThe CJR model holds hospitals accountable for spending and quality of joint replacement care during care episodes (index hospitalization through 90 days after discharge).Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcomes were spending, discharge to institutional postacute care, and readmission during care episodes.ResultsAmong 688 346 patients, 442 163 (64.2%) were women, and 87 286 (12.7%) were 85 years or older. Under CJR, spending decreased by $439 for White patients (95% CI, -$718 to -$161; from pre-CJR spending in treatment metropolitan statistical areas of $25 264) but did not change for Black patients and Hispanic patients. Discharges to institutional postacute care decreased for all groups (-2.5 percentage points; 95% CI, -4.7 to -0.4, from pre-CJR risk of 46.2% for White patients; -6.0 percentage points; 95% CI, -9.8 to -2.2, from pre-CJR risk of 59.5% for Black patients; and -4.3 percentage points; 95% CI, -7.6 to -1.0, from pre-CJR risk of 54.3% for Hispanic patients). Readmission risk decreased for Black patients by 3.1 percentage points (95% CI, -5.9 to -0.4, from pre-CJR risk of 21.8%) and did not change for White patients and Hispanic patients. Under CJR, Black-White differences in discharges to institutional postacute care decreased by 3.4 percentage points (95% CI, -6.4 to -0.5, from the pre-CJR Black-White difference of 13.3 percentage points). No evidence was found demonstrating that Black-White differences changed for other outcomes or that Hispanic-White differences changed for any outcomes under CJR.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of patients receiving joint replacements, CJR was associated with decreased readmissions for Black patients. Furthermore, Black patients experienced a greater decrease in discharges to institutional postacute care relative to White patients, representing relative improvements despite concerns that value-based payment models may exacerbate existing disparities. Nonetheless, differences between White and Black patients in joint replacement care still persisted even after these changes.

Project description:Total hip replacement (THR) is a highly successful operation in alleviating pain and improving the overall function of the hip, in end-stage arthritis of the hip, in otherwise fit patients. However, THR as a surgical option in post-traumatic hip arthritis with ipsilateral above-knee amputation is rarely reported.We are presenting a case report of a 30-year-old male, who had previously underwent an above-knee amputation due to road-traffic accident, presenting 24 h after the injury with segmental fracture femur and popliteal artery laceration, for which the limb could not be salvaged. He had an impacted anteroinferior dislocation of the ipsilateral hip with significant cartilage damage of the femoral head which required open reduction. Subsequently, he developed traumatic arthritis of the involved hip which required conversion to an uncemented THR, using a minimally invasive (MIS) anterolateral approach. The preoperative management, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation are described to highlight the technical challenges, these lower limb amputees may present along with review of literature of such rare cases.THR in an above-knee amputee with posttraumatic hip arthritis using MIS technique is an encouraging surgical option for early functional recovery and minimizing surgical complications.

Project description:We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with anterior groin pain, initially diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis (OA), scheduled for total hip arthroplasty, and subsequently diagnosed with an occult fragility fracture of the pelvis (FFP) by preoperative computed tomography (CT) examination. We diagnosed the patient with pre-existing hip OA and a bilateral sacrum and left pubic tubercle fracture that exacerbated the groin pain. We operated on the FFP followed by simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Given the high prevalence of hip OA and the increasing incidence of FFP, comorbidity of these 2 entities should be ruled out. Even if hip OA is apparent, plain radiographs are insufficient to rule out FFP, necessitating a thorough clinical examination, followed by a CT examination if an FFP is suspected.
