Functional results of patients treated with modular prosthetic replacement for bone tumors of the extremities

Abstract: Reconstruction with cemented modular endoprostheses is an appropriate surgical alternative in the treatment of large segmental defects after resection of extremity tumors, with satisfactory functional results particularly in primary tumors.

“…Our results align with the literature. Tumor resection prostheses may require revision due to the young ages of OS patients, the fact that the patients continue to grow, and because the long-term use of prosthesis may cause some complications [20]. Complications were seen in cases with knee-area location as in our series [21].…”

“…Improvement in surgical techniques and reconstructive options has made limb salvage feasible in majority of patients with primary bone tumors who are non metastatic at presentation (21,22) . Wide resection of primary limb sarcomas is the first step in this endeavor.…”

“…As in other skeletal parts, the movement capacity of the shoulder joint can be improved with specifically designed modular and reverse type tumor prosthesis use in the shoulder region. [1,[5][6][7] Modular tumor prostheses have now been modernized and become more useful with joint components. The modularity of these prostheses, in contrast to monoblock prostheses, allows the changing arm length to conform once again to the normal anatomical structure thanks to the different resection limits.…”
