  • Treatment of distal tibial tumor with vascularized fibula reconstruction

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of vascularized fibula reconstruction in treatment of distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors.MethodsBetween March 2012 and January 2018, 11 patients with distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors were treated with vascularized fibula reconstruction. There were 7 males and 4 females with an average age of 20 years (range, 16-39 years). There were 8 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 cases of invasive giant cell tumor of bone, and 1 case of hemangioendothelioma. The tumors were rated as benign stage 3 in 2 cases and malignant stageⅠA in 1 case, stageⅡA in 4 cases, and stage ⅡB in 4 cases according to the Enneking staging. The disease duration was 1-6 months (mean, 2.7 months). The limb function was evaluated by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, and the distal and proximal union of the transplanted fibula and the diameter of the fibula were examined by imaging.ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 16-85 months (mean, 41 months). No tumor recurrence or metastasis occurred during the follow-up. The proximal and distal grafts in the 10 cases showed osseous healing, and the healing time was 7-12 months (mean, 10.1 months) at proximal end and 7-12 months (mean, 9.3 months) at distal end. In 1 case, the proximal end did not heal at 19 months, while the distal end healed at 13 months; proximal bone grafting was performed, and the proximal end healed. Among the 4 patients with distal screw fixation, 2 had peri-internal fixation fractures after graft healing, but no skin necrosis or infection occurred. All the 7 patients with distal steel plate fixation had no peri-internal fixation fracture, but 1 patient developed anterior tibial skin necrosis. At 12 months after operation, the diameter of fibula increased 1-5 mm (mean, 2.4 mm) by compared with that before operation. The MSTS score was 17-27 (mean, 22.8).ConclusionReconstruction of ankle joint with vascularized fibula can achieve satisfactory functional results, which is one of the feasible and worthy methods for the distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors.

  • Application of three-dimensional printed total scapula for reverse shoulder arthroplasty in treatment of scapular tumors

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) printed total scapula for reverse shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of scapular tumors. MethodsBetween November 2017 and December 2021, 5 patients with scapular tumors were treated by reverse shoulder arthroplasty with 3D printed total scapula. There was 1 male and 4 females. The age ranged from 44 to 59 years, with an average of 50.4 years. There were 2 cases of chondro sarcoma, 1 case of high-grade osteosarcoma, 1 case of lung cancer with scapular metastasis, and 1 case of ligamentoid fibromatosis recurrence. The disease duration was 4-8 months, with an average of 5.8 months. According to the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scapular girdle classification criteria, 4 cases of tumors involved both S1 and S2 zones, and 1 case involved S2 zone. The tumor diameters ranged from 4.2 to 11.2 cm, with an average of 6.1 cm. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and blood transfusion were recorded. During follow-up, the MSTS score was used to evaluate the recovery of limb function of the patients. The sink depth of the affected shoulder, complications, and oncological outcomes were observed. The position of the prosthesis was reviewed by imaging. ResultsThe operation time ranged from 155 to 230 minutes, with an average of 189 minutes. The intraoperative blood loss was 100-1 500 mL, with a median of 600 mL. Two patients were received blood transfusion of 800 mL and 1 850 mL respectively during operation. All incisions healed by first intention, and no complications such as infection occurred. All patients were followed up 4-22 months, with an average of 13 months. Two patients died at 8 and 15 months after operation respectively due to multiple metastases and organ failure. At last follow-up, the MSTS score of all patients was 73%-83%, with an average of 77.4%. The affected shoulder was 2-4 cm lower than the contralateral side, with an average of 3 cm. Imaging examinations showed that no prosthesis loosening, dislocation, or fracture occurred during follow-up. Conclusion Reverse shoulder arthroplasty with 3D printed total scapula can obtain good shoulder function and appearance. Patients have high acceptance and satisfaction with this surgical method.
