This patient series reports the outcomes of CAD/CAM prosthetic reconstructions in patients with cleft lip and palate (n = 9, aged 27 to 76) who have experienced significant failure with conventional restorative and fixed prosthodontic treatments. The objective of the protocol is to establish a functional and patient-friendly prosthetic structure for individuals with unilateral/bilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP/BCLP) while minimising the requirement for specialised follow-up care in the cleft unit. The study data were obtained from a retrospective cohort at Helsinki University Hospital. Prosthetic reconstructions were performed using CAD/CAM bar structures by the Atlantis 2in1 system or Createch removable telescope structures, supported by four to eight maxillary dental implants. Out of the nine patients, seven experienced no complications. One prosthesis fracture occurred after 16 months due to a design error in the original framework, and one patient experienced failure of osseointegration in a dental fixture (specifically, one fixture out of the eight maxillary implants in this patient). In total, 56 implants were successfully placed. The maxillary dentition of elderly patients with cleft lip and palate often poses challenges due to periodontal and reconstructive issues. An implant-supported CAD/CAM bar with a removable telescope suprastructure offers an easily maintained and functional solution for dental rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Surgery for bone tumors around the knee often involves extensive resection, making the subsequent prosthetic reconstruction challenging. While carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF-PEEK) has been widely used in orthopedic implants, its application in tumor-type prosthesis is limited. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using 30wt% and 60wt% carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF30-PEEK and CF60-PEEK) as materials for a redesigned tumor-type knee prosthesis through numerical analysis.Methods: A knee joint model based on CT data was created, and the resection and prosthetic reconstruction were simulated. Three finite element models of the prostheses, representing the initial and updated designs with CoCrMo and CFR-PEEK components, were constructed. Loading conditions during standing and squatting were simulated with forces of 700 N and 2800 N, respectively. Finite element analysis was used to analyze the von Mises stress and stability of all components for each prosthesis type.Results: After improvements in both material and design, the new Type 3 prosthesis showed significantly lower overall stress with stress being evenly distributed. Compared with the initial design, the maximum von Mises stress in Type 3 was reduced by 53.9% during standing and 74.2% during squatting. In the standing position, the maximum stress in the CF30-PEEK femoral component decreased by 57.3% compared with the initial design which was composed of CoCrMo, while the stress in the CF60-PEEK cardan shaft remained consistent. In the squatting position, the maximum stress in the femoral component decreased by 81.9%, and the stress in the cardan shaft decreased by 46.5%.Conclusion: The incorporation of CF30-PEEK effectively transmits forces and reduces stress concentration on the femoral component, while CF60-PEEK in the redesigned cardan shaft significantly reduces stress while maintaining stiffness. The redesigned prosthesis effectively conducts loading force and demonstrates favorable biomechanical characteristics, indicating the promising potential of utilizing CF30-PEEK and CF60-PEEK materials for tumor-type knee prostheses. The findings of this study could provide novel insights for the design and development of tumor-type knee prostheses.

Purpose: To evaluate histologically and histomorphometrically the effect of a delayed load on healing at implants with a moderately rough surface. Materials and Methods: Two solid titanium screw-shaped devices, 5 mm long and 3.5 mm in diameter, were inserted in the distal segments of the alveolar ridge of 16 volunteer patients in a nonsubmerged fashion. After 2 months, one implant was loaded, while the other was left unloaded. After 2 months, the two implants were collected from 10 patients using a sonic instrument, and ground sections were prepared from the biopsy specimens. Histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: After 4 months of healing, biopsy specimens from 10 patients were available for analyses (n = 10). The total bone-to-implant contact percentage was 86.8% ± 6.5% and 84.6% ± 3.7% for loaded and unloaded implants, respectively. New bone was represented by 85.5% ± 6.7% and 83.4% ± 3.9% at the loaded and unloaded sites, respectively. A very small amount of old parent bone was found. The density of the mineralized bone was 76.8% ± 8.3% for the loaded sites and 74.1% ± 10.5% for the unloaded sites. The percentages of new and old bone densities were 69.0% ± 8.3% and 7.8% ± 3.9% at the loaded sites, and 65.9% ± 10.3% and 8.2% ± 4.5% at the unloaded sites, respectively. No statistically significant differences were disclosed. Conclusion: Applying a delayed load to implants supporting single crowns did not yield statistically significant differences, and only a tendency of higher osseointegration and bone density was observed at loaded sites compared with the unloaded sites.

Non atherosclerotic diseases producing intermittent claudication in middle-aged men are rare, but they are an important minority. Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is one of these entities; its more frequent location is the popliteal artery. We describe an unusual case of CAD involving common femoral artery in young. Early and careful diagnosis (by Doppler Ultrasonography or Computed Tomography Angiography) and prompt repair appear crucial to achieve good outcomes. The diagnosis was made during the surgical procedure carried out for severe intermittent claudication. Surgical treatment with total excision of the lesion and arterial reconstruction with PTFE prothesis provides a complete resolution of the symptoms. We review the literature about non-atherosclerotic causes of lower extremity claudication, describing etiology, diagnosis and treatment. Conditions including popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, iliac fibromuscular disease, persistent sciatic artery, iliac/femoral giant cell arteritis and iliac endofibrosis are described. As the low incidence of these lesions and the poor literature data, the authors suggest that all patients with intermittent claudication without atherosclerotic disease should be investigated to look for these syndromes.

- Abstract
Background: Orthopedic oncology patients are particularly susceptible to increased readmission rates and poor surgical outcomes, yet little is known about readmission rates. The goal of this study is to identify factors independently associated with 90-day readmission for patients undergoing oncologic resection and subsequent prosthetic reconstruction for metastatic disease of the hip and knee.Methods: This is a retrospective comparative cohort study of all patients treated from 2013 to 2019 at a single tertiary care referral institution who underwent endoprosthetic reconstruction by an orthopedic oncologist for metastatic disease of the extremities. The primary outcome measure was unplanned 90-day readmission.Results: We identified 112 patients undergoing 127 endoprosthetic reconstruction surgeries. Metastatic disease was most commonly from renal (26.8%), lung (23.6%), and breast (13.4%) cancer. The most common type of skeletal reconstruction performed was simple arthroplasty (54%). There were 43 readmissions overall (33.9%). When controlling for confounding factors, body mass index >40, insurance status, peripheral vascular disease, and longer hospital length of stay were independently associated with risk of readmission (P ≤ .05).Conclusion: Readmission rates for endoprosthetic reconstructions for metastatic disease are high. Although predicting readmission remains challenging, risk stratification presents a viable option for helping minimize unplanned readmissions.Level Of Evidence: III. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Thus, five patients with “ultra-critical sized bone defects” following an intercalary tibial malignant tumor resection treated with 3D-printed porous prosthesis between June 2014 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient information, implants design and fabrication, surgical procedures, and early clinical outcome data were collected and evaluated.Results: Among the five patients, three were male and two were female, with an average age of 30.2 years. Pathological diagnoses were two osteosarcomas, one Ewing sarcoma, one pseudo-myogenic hemangioendothelioma, and one undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma . The average length of the bone defects following tumor resection was 22.8cm, and the average length of ultra-short residual bone was 2.65cm (range=0.6cm– 3.8cm). The mean follow-up time was 27.6 months (range=14.0– 62.0 months). Early biological fixation was achieved in all five patients. The average time of clinical osseointegration at the bone–porous interface was 3.2 months. All patients were reported to be pain free and have no limitations in their walking distance. No prosthetic mechanical complications were observed.Conclusion: Reconstruction of the “ultra-critical sized bone defect” after an intercalary tibial tumor resection using 3D-printed porous prosthesis achieved satisfactory overall early biological fixation and limb function. Excellent primary stability and the following rigid biological fixation were key factors for success. The outcomes of this study were supposed to support further clinical application and evaluation of 3D-printed porous prosthetic reconstruction for “ultra-critical sized bone defects” in the tibia.Keywords: 3D-printed porous, prosthetic reconstruction, intercalary tibial resection, critical sized bone defect

Purpose: Surgical options for long bone metastases include intramedullary nail fixation or prosthetic reconstruction. Patients with a short life expectancy may benefit from less invasive surgery such as intramedullary nail fixation, while patients with a long life expectancy could be treated with more invasive surgery such as prosthetic reconstruction. The purpose of our study was to analyze the survival of patients treated surgically for long bone metastases, determining the prognostic factors affecting survival and analyzing the surgical complications and reoperation rates. Based on our results, we developed a prognostic score that helps to choose the best treatment for these patients. In addition, we compared the performance of our prognostic score with other previous prognostic models. Method: We investigated prospectively potential clinical and laboratory prognostic factors in 159 patients with metastatic bone disease who underwent surgery with intramedullary nail fixation or prosthetic reconstruction. Clinical data were collected, recording the following data: age and sex of patients, primary tumour and time of diagnosis, number (single or multiple) and presentation (synchronous or metachronous) of bone metastases, presence of visceral metastases. The following laboratory data were analyzed: hemoglobin, leukocyte counts, lymphocyte counts, platelets count, alkaline phosphatase, and C-reactive protein. Results: Our study showed that pathological C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis were significant negative independent prognostic factors at 12-month survival. Based on our results, we created a score using C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis, creating three different prognostic groups: (A) good prognosis primary tumour and physiological CRP with probability of survival at 12 months of 88.9 [80.1–98.5]; (B) bad prognosis primary tumour and physiological CRP or good prognosis primary tumour and pathological CRP with a probability of survival at 12 months of 56.7 [45.4–70.7]; (C) bad prognosis primary tumour and pathological CRP with a probability of survival at 12 months of 12.5 [5.0–28.3]. Using ROC multiple analysis, our score (AUC = 0.816) was the most accurate in predicting a 12-month survival compared to previous prognostic models. Discussion: Patients treated surgically for long bone metastases with a life expectancy over 12 months should be treated with more durable reconstruction, while patients with a life expectancy less than 12 months should be treated with less invasive surgery. The diagnosis of primary cancer and C-reactive protein are two very simple data which every orthopaedic surgeon in any community hospital can easily rely on for any decision-making in the surgical treatment of a complex patient as with a patient with skeletal metastases. Conclusion: Our prognostic score based on only two simple variables (C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis) was able to predict the 12-month survival of patients treated surgically for long bone metastases and could be helpful in choosing the best treatment for these patients.

- Abstract
Background: Endoscopic surgery for malignant breast tumors is becoming more and more popular and has been applied in the clinical setting. Single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation are rare. Therefore, this study described a new endoscopic technique for breast surgery., Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 12 patients with breast cancer diagnosed in the Department of Thyroid Breast Surgery of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected and underwent axillary single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation., Results: The average operation time was 190.25±25.40 min, the average blood loss was 86.25±33.11 mL, the average drainage volume was 207.92±65.90 mL 3 days after surgery, and the average hospital stay was 9.67±2.57 days. The follow-up period ranged from 11 to 21 months, with an average of 16.75 months. Medial paresthesia was present in only one patient, which decreased or disappeared after 3 months. No complications such as wound infection or limb dysfunction occurred in the remaining patients. Postoperative follow-up showed that 10 patients were very satisfied, one patient was relatively satisfied, and one patient was not satisfied., Conclusions: Preliminary data attested the feasibility and the safety of this approach. It can improve patient satisfaction compared with traditional modified radical mastectomy for suitable candidates. However, long-term data are needed to confirm the oncological safety and the esthetic stability of the result., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://tcr.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/tcr-23-1771/coif).

- Abstract
Introduction: Limb salvage surgery in children following bone sarcoma resection is a challenging problem because of the small size of the bones, the lack of appropriate size-matched implants, and the risk of limb-length discrepancy once skeletal growth is complete, secondary to the loss of the epiphyseal plate. Although several reconstruction options are available in children with bone sarcomas, such as vascularized fibula, massive bone allograft, extracorporeal devitalized autograft, endoprosthesis, and allograft-prosthesis composite, a consensus has not been reached on the best reconstruction method. The purpose of the present study is to propose an algorithm for reconstruction after resection of bone sarcomas in children., Methods: In this review, we analyzed reports on limb reconstruction in children following treatment for bone sarcoma, to provide a comprehensive overview of the different reconstruction options in children with bone sarcomas, the outcomes, and the risks and benefits of the different surgical approaches., Results: Despite a high risk of complications and the necessity for limb-lengthening procedures, prosthetic or biological reconstructions seem to achieve good functional outcomes in children with bone sarcoma. The use of massive bone graft seems to be recommended for intercalary reconstructions, with a free vascularized fibular graft for long defects, while for osteoarticular reconstruction a modular or expandable prosthesis or an allograft-prosthesis composite seems to have good results. For reconstruction of the proximal humerus, modular prosthesis or allograft-prosthesis composite are more commonly used than expandable prosthesis since there are fewer functional constraints related to possible limb-length discrepancy on the upper limb compared to the lower limb., Discussion: We discuss the advantages and limitations of the different available surgical options for bone reconstruction following tumor resection in children and propose an algorithm of potential surgical treatments for children with bone sarcomas of the extremities., (© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.)

- Abstract
Although the loss of any part or all of a limb remains devastating, there are now many new surgical options to improve the quality of life of an amputee that clinicians should be aware of. These options include composite tissue (allograft) transplantation as well as new surgical techniques for symptom improvement and to allow patients to achieve a better outcome after prosthetic reconstruction. The emphasis of this article will be on symptom improvement and prosthetic reconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nineteen patients who were treated for oncologic pathology by surgery and radiotherapy (average dose = 57 Gy) received prosthetic reconstruction with 53 implants placed in the residual mandible or maxilla and/or replacement bone graft. Implants were placed within a minimum period of 5 months after radiotherapy. The healing period before placement of the prosthesis also was at least 5 months. Two to six implants were placed as a function of tooth loss and required prosthetic design. Prostheses included both removable and fixed restorations. Two implants were lost as a result of osseointegration failure. Fifteen implants in six patients could not be followed throughout the study because of patient expiration. Patients were followed up to 68 months and for an average of 38 months. No osteoradionecrosis phenomenon was seen in this study. However, caution is urged in placing implants in irradiated bone because of the potential for osteoradionecrosis. Patients should be carefully selected and a strict therapeutic protocol should be followed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study of 125 titanium implants placed in irradiated bone is reported. Eighty-eight implants were placed in nonirradiated bone and 45 implants were placed in irradiated bone after hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) was undertaken in 68 patients. There was an increased loss of implants in irradiated bone (38.4%) compared to nonirradiated bone (17%). None of the implants placed after HBO was lost. Low irradiation doses did not prevent implant losses. Longer intervals from the time of irradiation to implant surgery resulted in more implant losses. The highest implant losses were seen in the periorbital bone. Three-millimeter-long implants showed increased loss compared to 4-mm or longer implants. Retention of the prosthesis with bar and clips resulted in reduced implant losses, compared to the use of individual magnets or a combination of magnets and clips. Using a grading system for cutaneous reactions, irradiated skin showed increased adverse reactions during the first year after implant surgery. Adjunctive treatment with HBO reduced adverse skin reactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eleven patients who had undergone surgical treatment for head and neck cancer and had titanium implants placed for skin-penetrating prostheses were irradiated postimplantation. The absorbed doses of irradiation to the implant region varied between 50 and 80 Gy. The time interval between implant surgery and irradiation varied from 4 to 60 months. Of 32 fixtures placed, 2 were removed as part of extended tumor surgery and 2 were lost in conjunction with induced chemotherapy. Five of the patients showed skin dehiscences around 9 implants after completed irradiation. Osteoradionecrosis developed in three of the patients after radiotherapy. If irradiation is to be performed in areas where titanium implants have been placed, it is recommended that all prostheses, frameworks, and abutments be removed before irradiation; the fixtures should be allowed to remain intact but should be covered with skin or mucosa.

Objectives: Microtia is the most commonly seen congenital ear defect, and involves an auricular deformity either unilaterally or bilaterally. The aim of this study was to fabricate silicone prostheses for a child with bilateral microtia using an innovative technique. Methods: This method involved the construction of bilateral ear prostheses using clips, which were located within the layers of the silicone superstructure. Results: Surgical reconstruction was not indicated due to the patient’s age; so prosthetic reconstruction was advised in this case. Discussion: Two prosthetic ears were manufactured, with one being attached using an adhesive method and the other by a self suspension method. The child and his parents were very satisfied by the cosmetic and aesthetic appearance of the prostheses fitted. This technique has been proven to be suitable for pediatric patients with microtia.

- Abstract
Background: Surgery for bone tumors around the knee often involves extensive resection, making the subsequent prosthetic reconstruction challenging. While carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF-PEEK) has been widely used in orthopedic implants, its application in tumor-type prosthesis is limited. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using 30wt% and 60wt% carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF30-PEEK and CF60-PEEK) as materials for a redesigned tumor-type knee prosthesis through numerical analysis. Methods: A knee joint model based on CT data was created, and the resection and prosthetic reconstruction were simulated. Three finite element models of the prostheses, representing the initial and updated designs with CoCrMo and CFR-PEEK components, were constructed. Loading conditions during standing and squatting were simulated with forces of 700 N and 2800 N, respectively. Finite element analysis was used to analyze the von Mises stress and stability of all components for each prosthesis type. Results: After improvements in both material and design, the new Type 3 prosthesis showed significantly lower overall stress with stress being evenly distributed. Compared with the initial design, the maximum von Mises stress in Type 3 was reduced by 53.9% during standing and 74.2% during squatting. In the standing position, the maximum stress in the CF30-PEEK femoral component decreased by 57.3% compared with the initial design which was composed of CoCrMo, while the stress in the CF60-PEEK cardan shaft remained consistent. In the squatting position, the maximum stress in the femoral component decreased by 81.9%, and the stress in the cardan shaft decreased by 46.5%. Conclusion: The incorporation of CF30-PEEK effectively transmits forces and reduces stress concentration on the femoral component, while CF60-PEEK in the redesigned cardan shaft significantly reduces stress while maintaining stiffness. The redesigned prosthesis effectively conducts loading force and demonstrates favorable biomechanical characteristics, indicating the promising potential of utilizing CF30-PEEK and CF60-PEEK materials for tumor-type knee prostheses. The findings of this study could provide novel insights for the design and development of tumor-type knee prostheses., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Wu, Guo and Guo.)

- Abstract
Background: The use of post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) following immediate breast reconstruction has increased recently, and its safety is becoming a major concern. We aimed to evaluate the complication rates of PMRT to immediate tissue-expander/permanent implant (TE/PI)-based reconstructions for breast cancer and its association with radiotherapy timing (irradiation to TE or PI).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy, immediate TE/PI reconstruction, and PMRT between January 2003 and December 2014. The rates of complications including reconstruction failure, re-operation, and infection were estimated by Kaplan–Meier analysis. The risk factors including radiotherapy timing were analyzed by log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.Results: A total of 81 patients were included. Median follow-up was 32 months (range 2–120 months). Radiotherapy consisted of 50 Gy to the reconstructed breast and supraclavicular region in most cases. Total reconstruction failure, re-operation, and infection rates were 12.3, 13.6, and 11.1%, and 5-year cumulative reconstruction failure, re-operation, and infection rates were 16.7, 16.6, and 12.2%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in complication rates with respect to radiotherapy timing. In multivariate analysis, age 55 years and older was a significant risk factor for complications (
P < 0.05).Conclusion: There were no significant differences in rates of reconstruction failure, re-operation, or infection with regard to radiotherapy timing. PMRT to reconstructed breasts of older patients aged 55 years or over can be expected to result in more complications than in younger patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Introduction: Partial hand amputations are one of the most common types of hand amputation. Provision of an aesthetic prosthesis with adequate performance can reduce negative social and psychological impacts of hand amputation. The aim of this study was to describe the fabrication of a silicone prosthesis for a patient with partial hand amputation. Materials and Methods: Alginate impression was taken from the residual limb and donor hand. The thumb of the patient on the affected side was covered with a thin layer of silicone so as to not prevent the natural movements of the fingers. A thin layer of wax sculpted on the residual limb plaster mold of the thumb. Four metal wires were put on the residual limb plaster mold. These metal wires are temporary and, after the curing of silicone, are removed from within the final prosthesis to create a suction suspension and lightweight prosthesis. Result: In this study, the prosthesis was designed and built for a 30-year-old woman who worked in a toy factory and had four fingers of her left hand amputated. Conclusion: The patient was satisfied with the prosthesis in terms of appearance, weight, and color. The thumb function was not limited by the prosthesis. The patient could easily use her thumb while wearing the prosthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The clinical value of 3D printed surgical guides in resection and reconstruction of malignant bone tumor around the knee joint were studied. For this purpose, a sample of 66 patients from October 2013 to October 2015 were randomly selected and further divided into control group and observation group, each group consisted of 33 cases. The control group was treated by conventional tumor resection whereas, in the observation group, the tumor was resected with 3D printed surgical guide. However, reconstruction of tumor-type hinge prosthesis was performed in both groups and then the clinical effect was compared. Results show that there was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups (p>0.05). However, the blood loss, resection length and complication rate were found significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (p<0.05). The rate of negative margin and the recurrence rate in the 12-month follow-up (p>0.05) between two groups were statistically the same (p>0.05), whereas the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of the knee joint in the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (p<0.05) after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of the operation. Consequently, the 3D printed surgical guides can significantly improve the postoperative joint function after resection and reconstruction of malignant bone tumor around the knee joint and can reduce the incidence of complications.

Objectives: Prosthetic reconstruction can restore the preoperative form and function after surgery for head and neck malignancies. We demonstrate the use of preoperative planning and intraoperative image guidance for placement of osseointegrated implants to restore craniofacial defects. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with craniofacial defects treated with image-guided placement of osseointegrated prosthetic implants was performed. Results: Case 1: 55-year-old male who underwent total auriculectomy with anterolateral thigh reconstruction. Case 2: 64-year-old male who required orbital exenteration and total auriculectomy with latissimus dorsi reconstruction. Case 3: 74-year-old male presented after a total rhinectomy. Cases 1 and 3 received adjuvant radiation prior to implantation. Case 2 underwent simultaneous placement of osseointegrated hearing and prosthetic implants. Computed tomography scans were used to perform preoperative planning to determine the optimal implant trajectories and sites. Complications included tissue overgrowth, delayed nonunion of implant, wound infection, and dehiscence. Conclusions: Defects following oncologic resection of head and neck malignancies can be difficult to achieve with native tissue alone. Osseointegrated implants offer an excellent means for reconstruction but can be challenging due to limited bone stock and anatomic landmarks. This can be overcome using intraoperative image guidance techniques for prosthetic reconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Our aim was to introduce a novel combined hemipelvic endoprosthesis for pelvic reconstruction after Enneking type I/II/IV resection and to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the endoprosthesis using finite element analysis.Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of the postoperative pelvis was developed based on computed tomography (CT) images of the patient with the best post-operative limb function. A force of 400 N was applied along the longitudinal axis of the normal and post-operative pelvis for two positions: standing on two feet and sitting. Stress-distribution analysis was performed in both positions, and results were compared. Prosthesis improvements were simulated by intervertebral fusion and extra screw fixation.Results: In the normal pelvis, stress distributions were mostly concentrated on the superior area of the acetabulum, arcuate line, sacroiliac joint and sacral midline in both static conditions, and peak stresses of 1.52 MPa and 4.53 MPa were observed at the superior area of the greater sciatic notch and ischial tuberosity, respectively. For the reconstructed hemipelvis, stress distributions were concentrated on the connecting rods of the acetabular component and the proximal segment of the pedicle rods, and peak stresses of 252 MPa and 213 MPa were observed on the proximal pedicle rods of the fourth lumbar vertebra for standing and sitting, respectively. Interbody fusion of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae and extra screw fixation to the sacrum decreased the peak stresses by 33.0 % and 18.3 % while standing and by 10.8 % and 6.6 % while sitting.Conclusion: Reconstruction with combined hemipelvic endoprosthesis after types I/II/IV resection of the pelvis fulfilled physiological and biomechanical demands of the hemipelvis and yielded good biomechanical characteristics.

Jaw-closing movements are basic components of physiological motor actions precisely achieving intercuspation without significant interference. The main purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that, despite an imperfect intercuspal position, the precision of jaw-closing movements fluctuates within the range of physiological closing movements indispensable for meeting intercuspation without significant interference. For 35 healthy subjects, condylar and incisal point positions for fast and slow jaw-closing, interrupted at different jaw gaps by the use of frontal occlusal plateaus, were compared with uninterrupted physiological jaw closing, with identical jaw gaps, using a telemetric system for measuring jaw position. Examiner-guided centric relation served as a clinically relevant reference position. For jaw gaps ≤4 mm, no significant horizontal or vertical displacement differences were observed for the incisal or condylar points among physiological, fast, and slow jaw-closing. However, the jaw positions under these three closing conditions differed significantly from guided centric relation for nearly all experimental jaw gaps. The findings provide evidence of stringent neuromuscular control of jaw-closing movements in the vicinity of intercuspation. These results might be of clinical relevance to occlusal intervention with different objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Surgical options for long bone metastases include intramedullary nail fixation or prosthetic reconstruction. Patients with a short life expectancy may benefit from less invasive surgery such as intramedullary nail fixation, while patients with a long life expectancy could be treated with more invasive surgery such as prosthetic reconstruction. The purpose of our study was to analyze the survival of patients treated surgically for long bone metastases, determining the prognostic factors affecting survival and analyzing the surgical complications and reoperation rates. Based on our results, we developed a prognostic score that helps to choose the best treatment for these patients. In addition, we compared the performance of our prognostic score with other previous prognostic models. Method: We investigated prospectively potential clinical and laboratory prognostic factors in 159 patients with metastatic bone disease who underwent surgery with intramedullary nail fixation or prosthetic reconstruction. Clinical data were collected, recording the following data: age and sex of patients, primary tumour and time of diagnosis, number (single or multiple) and presentation (synchronous or metachronous) of bone metastases, presence of visceral metastases. The following laboratory data were analyzed: hemoglobin, leukocyte counts, lymphocyte counts, platelets count, alkaline phosphatase, and C-reactive protein. Results: Our study showed that pathological C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis were significant negative independent prognostic factors at 12-month survival. Based on our results, we created a score using C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis, creating three different prognostic groups: (A) good prognosis primary tumour and physiological CRP with probability of survival at 12 months of 88.9 [80.1–98.5]; (B) bad prognosis primary tumour and physiological CRP or good prognosis primary tumour and pathological CRP with a probability of survival at 12 months of 56.7 [45.4–70.7]; (C) bad prognosis primary tumour and pathological CRP with a probability of survival at 12 months of 12.5 [5.0–28.3]. Using ROC multiple analysis, our score (AUC = 0.816) was the most accurate in predicting a 12-month survival compared to previous prognostic models. Discussion: Patients treated surgically for long bone metastases with a life expectancy over 12 months should be treated with more durable reconstruction, while patients with a life expectancy less than 12 months should be treated with less invasive surgery. The diagnosis of primary cancer and C-reactive protein are two very simple data which every orthopaedic surgeon in any community hospital can easily rely on for any decision-making in the surgical treatment of a complex patient as with a patient with skeletal metastases. Conclusion: Our prognostic score based on only two simple variables (C-reactive protein and primary tumour diagnosis) was able to predict the 12-month survival of patients treated surgically for long bone metastases and could be helpful in choosing the best treatment for these patients.

Background: Little is known about the drivers of readmission in patients undergoing Orthopaedic oncologic resection. The goal of this study was to identify factors independently associated with 90-day readmission for patients undergoing oncologic resection and subsequent prosthetic reconstruction for primary tumors involving bone., Methods: This was a retrospective comparative cohort study of patients treated from 2008 to 2019 who underwent endoprosthetic reconstruction for a primary bone tumor or soft tissue tumor involving bone, as well as those who underwent a revision endoprosthetic reconstruction if the primary endoprosthetic reconstruction was performed for an oncologic resection. The primary outcome measure was unplanned 90-day readmission., Results: A total of 149 patients were identified who underwent 191 surgeries were for a primary bone or soft tissue tumor. The 90-day readmission rate was 28.3%. Female gender, depression, higher tumor grade, vascular reconstruction, longer procedure duration, longer length of stay (LOS), multiple surgeries during an admission and disposition to a Skilled Nursing Facility were associated with readmission (p < 0.05). In a multivariate analysis, female sex, higher tumor grade and longer procedure duration were independently associated with risk of readmission (p < 0.05)., Conclusions: Readmission rates are high following endoprosthetic reconstruction for Orthopaedic oncologic resections. Further work is necessary to help minimize unplanned readmissions., (© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

Objectives: A key aspect of complex restorative therapy is reconstruction of a new three-dimensional jaw relation. The objective of this study was to test the hypotheses that the initially recorded jaw relation would deviate substantially from the jaw position of the prosthetic reconstruction and that activity ratios of the jaw muscles would be significantly different for each of these jaw positions. Materials and methods: In 41 healthy subjects, 41 examiners incorporated intraoral occlusal devices fabricated with all the technical details and procedures commonly used during prosthetic reconstructions. The jaw positions in centric relation with the incorporated occlusal devices were telemetrically measured in the condylar, first molar and incisal regions, relative to intercuspation. Electromyographic (EMG) activity of the temporalis and masseter muscles was recorded, and activity ratios were calculated for homonymous and heteronymous muscles. Results: The recorded jaw relation differed significantly ( p < 0.001) from the jaw position reconstructed with the intraoral occlusal devices. The initially recorded jaw relation was reproduced with the intraoral occlusal device with spatial accuracy of approximately 0.3 mm in the condylar, molar and incisal regions. The EMG ratios between centric relations and the reconstructed positions were significantly different ( p < 0.05) for the temporal muscle and the temporalis/masseter ratio. Conclusions: The findings revealed that three-dimensional jaw-relation recording may be reproduced in a simulated prosthetic reconstruction within the accuracy reported for replicate intraoral bite recordings. Clinical relevance: Centric relation recordings may be reproduced in a prosthetic reconstruction with the spatial accuracy of 0.3 mm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The external ear is a sophisticated structure and of complex morphology. The incidence of auricular deformities is of 1:6000 born. The cause is multiple including genetic alterations and vascular abnormalities during the embryonic morphogenesis. The most frequent clinical presentation is the microtia. The different reconstructive methods has as objective to reproduce the natural reliefs of the ear, by means of having knitted autogenous reconstruction using a rib cartilage framework, alloplastic framework and prosthetic reconstruction with osseointegrated implants. Each method has advantages and disadvantages with results aesthetic different. Objective: To describe our experience with prosthetic reconstruction with osseointegrated implants in auricular reconstruction. Patients and Methods: We included to patient with unilateral or bilateral microtia that they went to the consultation of Plastic Surgery among January from the 2002 to December of the 2004. They were evaluated clinically by a multidisciplinary team. The external prosthetic was designed taking the pattern of the normal ear. They was carried out the surgical procedure in 2 times: I - Placement of the osseointegrated implants, II - After 6 months of integration, placement of abutments and fixtures of prosthetic. The pursuit consisted on clinical, radiological evaluations and photographic registrations (before surgery and 6 months after surgery). Results: 34 patients were included with microtia, 20 of the masculine sex and 14 of the sex, with age 9.5 year-old average. The clinical presentation but it frequents it was unilateral microtia (n=31), not finding difference in the right presentation (n=16) or left (n=15). The time surgical average was of 35 minutes. Complications was not presented. All the patients completed the pursuit, showing appropriate integration of you implant them according to the radiological valuation. The aesthetic result of the prosthetic reconstruction was very satisfactory in all the cases. The pursuit average was of 1.5 years (6-24 months), finding as complication a hypertrophic scar in a patient, which responded to the medical treatment. They were not complications associated to the use of prosthetic reconstruction. Conclusions: The prosthetic reconstruction with osseointegrated implants is a reconstructive method efficient demonstrating the following advantages: short surgical time, decrease of number of surgeries, absence of complications associated to the area donor, complications surgical minimum or absent, very good aesthetic result.

In this prospective study, we determined the effects of the time interval between irradiation and implant therapy, implant location, boneresection surgery, and irradiation dose on implant survival. We analyzed the survival of 446 implants inserted after radiotherapy over a period of up to 14 years in 130 consecutive patients treated for oral cancer. The 10-year overall Kaplan-Meier implant survival percentage is 78%. The difference in survival percentages of implants inserted < 1 year and ≥ 1 year after irradiation (76% and 81%, respectively) is not significant. We concluded that implant survival is significantly influenced by the location (maxilla or mandible, 59% and 85%, respectively; p = 0.001), by the incidence of bone-resection surgery in the jaw where the implant was installed (p = 0.04), and by the irradiation dose at the implant site (< 50 Gray or ≥ 50 Gray, p = 0.05).

Immediate reconstruction of medium/large ptotic breasts can be performed by using expanders, definitive implants, or autologous flaps. If a skin-sparing mastectomy is feasible, excellent results can be achieved by planning Wise pattern incisions, using definitive implants. The authors suggest the use of a dermal-adipose flap, harvested from the ptotic part of the breast, rotated laterally, and interposed between the serratus fascia and the pectoralis muscle to close the inferolateral part of the pocket. We performed 23 immediate unilateral single-stage breast reconstructions, with simultaneous contralateral reduction. Preoperatively, all breasts showed grade II or III ptosis. There was no case of implant infection or failure of the reconstruction. The median follow-up was 21 months; however, some patients followed up for >4 years; in this period, no case of capsular contracture was observed. This technique has provided good shape, acceptable ptosis consistent with the healthy breast and symmetric scars.
