Patients Regularly Return to Medium- and Low-Impact Types of Sporting Activities Following Distal Femoral or Proximal Tibial Replacement After Resection of a Primary Bone Sarcoma. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00613-2. [PMID: 38880406 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the resumption of sporting activities following megaprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur and proximal tibia after resection of a bone sarcoma. Thus, the aims of our study were: (1) to assess the functional outcome; (2) to evaluate pre- and postoperatively performed sporting activities; and (3) to identify potential beneficial and limiting factors. METHODS Between 1993 and 2015, a total of 230 patients underwent distal femoral replacement (DFR), and 96 patients underwent proximal tibial replacement (PTR). Exclusion criteria were death, amputation, living overseas, and a congenital disability. Functional outcome and sporting activities were assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS), Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Subjective Knee Value (SKV), the Tegner Activity Score (TS), and the modified Weighted Activity Score (WAS). RESULTS There were 93 patients who had a median follow-up of 182 months (interquartile range (IQR) 130 to 260) after DFR with the following median scores: MSTS 18 (IQR 12 to 23), TESS 75% (IQR 60 to 84), FJS 25 (IQR 8 to 40), SKV 53% (IQR 40 to 70), TS 3 (IQR 3 to 4), and WAS 4 (IQR 0 to 8). There were 42 patients who had a median follow-up of 193 months (IQR 137 to 244) after PTR had the following median scores: MSTS 17 (IQR 15 to 22), TESS 78% (IQR 68 to 88), FJS 32 (IQR 20 to 46), SKV 60% (IQR 40 to 70), TS 3 (IQR 3 to 4), and WAS 4 (IQR 1 to 10). Postoperatively, 61% of DFR and 76% of PTR patients participated in at least one sporting activity. CONCLUSION Functional outcome is overall good with a regular resumption of sporting activities. Patients' age at surgery and higher preoperative sporting levels were associated with better functional outcomes and higher postoperative sporting activity.

Similar complications, implant survival, and function following modular prosthesis and allograft-prosthesis composite reconstructions of the proximal femur for primary bone tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:1581-1595. [PMID: 38363346 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-024-03846-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE There is a lack of consensus regarding the best type of reconstruction of the proximal femur following bone tumor resection. The objective of this study was to analyze the complication risks, implant survival, and functional outcomes following modular prosthesis (MP) and allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) reconstruction of the proximal femur after primary bone tumor resections. METHODS We performed a search in the PubMed and Scopus libraries, obtaining 1 843 studies. We included studies reporting functional outcomes, complications, and implant survival of proximal femur reconstruction with MP or APC following primary bone tumor resection with a 2-year minimum follow-up. We excluded studies analyzing metastatic patients or studies with pooled data in which it was impossible to separate the data of patients with primary bone tumors from those with bone metastases. RESULTS We analyzed 18 studies (483 patients) reporting on 234 (48%) patients with MP reconstruction and 249 (52%) patients with APC reconstruction. The risk of complications was similar in patients with MP reconstruction (29%; 95% CI [0.11; 0.47]) and APC reconstruction (36%; 95% CI [0.24; 0.47]) (p = 0.48). Implant survival following MP reconstruction ranged from 81 to 86% at 5 years, 75 to 86% at 10 years, and 82% at 15 years. Implant survival following APC reconstruction ranged from 86 to 100% at 5 years and 86% at 10 years, and 86% at 15 years. Functional outcomes following MP reconstruction and APC reconstruction ranged from 24.0 to 28.3 and from 21.9 to 27.8, respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with primary bone tumor of the proximal femur who underwent MP or APC reconstruction seem to have similar complication risks, implant survival, and functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the prognostic outcome of hip joint replacement after resection of proximal femoral tumors by reviewing original studies. METHODS Two researchers independently searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to July 17, 2022. Then, the literature was screened by inclusion criteria. The basic information, primary outcomes, and secondary outcomes were extracted for weighted combined analysis. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Twenty-four retrospective cohort studies comprising 2081 patients were included. The limb salvage rate was 98%. The survival rates at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 80, 72, 65, 64, and 55% for patients with primary tumors and the rate at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 44, 25, 17, 14, and 11% for patients with bone metastases, respectively. CONCLUSION As chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment progressed, joint reconstruction after proximal femoral tumor resection improved patients' function and quality of life.

Abstract
The imbalance between life expectancy and quality of life is increasing due to the raising prevalence of chronic diseases. Musculoskeletal disorders and chronic wounds affect a growing percentage of people and demand more efficient tools for regenerative medicine. Scaffolds that can better mimic the natural physical stimuli that tissues receive under healthy conditions and during healing may significantly aid the regeneration process. Shape, mechanical properties, pore size and interconnectivity have already been demonstrated to be relevant scaffold features that can determine cell adhesion and differentiation. Much less attention has been paid to scaffolds that can deliver more dynamic physical stimuli, such as electrical signals. Recent developments in the precise measurement of electrical fields in vivo have revealed their key role in cell movement (galvanotaxis), growth, activation of secondary cascades, and differentiation to different lineages in a variety of tissues, not just neural. Piezoelectric scaffolds can mimic the natural bioelectric potentials and gradients in an autonomous way by generating the electric stimuli themselves when subjected to mechanical loads or, if the patient or the tissue lacks mobility, ultrasound irradiation. This review provides an analysis on endogenous bioelectrical signals, recent developments on piezoelectric scaffolds for bone, cartilage, tendon and nerve regeneration, and their main outcomes in vivo. Wound healing with piezoelectric dressings is addressed in the last section with relevant examples of performance in animal models. Results evidence that a fine adjustment of material composition and processing (electrospinning, corona poling, 3D printing, annealing) provides scaffolds that act as true emitters of electrical stimuli that activate endogenous signaling pathways for more efficient and long-term tissue repair.

Distal Humeral Replacement in Patients with Primary Bone Sarcoma: The Functional Outcome and Return to Sports. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3534. [PMID: 37444644 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Distal humeral replacement (DHR) is a limb-salvage option for the endoprosthetic reconstruction of bone defects following the resection of a primary bone sarcoma. As primary bone sarcomas are only occasionally located around the distal humerus, there is a paucity of information regarding postoperative function, and patients' resumption of sporting activities. With advances in diagnostics and in surgical and oncological treatment leading to an increased patient life expectancy and higher quality of life, patients' functional outcome and return to sports activities are of increasing interest. Between 1997 and 2021, a total of 24 patients underwent DHR with a single-design modular implant at a tertiary sarcoma center. A total of 14 patients who died of their disease were excluded, leaving a study cohort of 10 patients, with a median age of 30 years on the day of surgery (IQR 20-37). At the last follow-up, after a median of 230 months (IQR 165-262), the median MSTS was 19 (IQR 13-24), the median TESS was 79 (IQR 66-87), the median SEV was 38% (IQR 24-53), the median TS was 6 (IQR 4-7), and the median WAS was 3 (IQR 1-8). Among the variables of gender, surgery on the dominant extremity, intraoperative nerve resection, extra-articular tumor resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and revision surgeries, none were associated with a better/lower functional outcome score or return to sports activities. However, a higher level of sports performance prior to diagnosis (WAS > 10) was associated with a higher level of sports performance postoperatively (p = 0.044).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of primary malignant musculoskeletal tumors often face long-term disability. Clinicians at present are unable to provide evidence-based advice about returning to sports, which is important for active patients. PURPOSES Identify patients returning to sports. Describe the sporting activities in which patients participate. Identify the outcome measures used to assess return to sport. Identify barriers preventing return to sports. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS A comprehensive search strategy was used to identify relevant studies combining the following concepts: (1) Bone/Soft tissue tumor, (2) Lower limb, (3) Surgical interventions, and (4) Sports. Studies were selected according to eligibility criteria with the consensus of three authors (MTB, FS, and CG). RESULTS Twenty-two studies were selected, published between 1985 and 2020, including 1005 patients. Fifteen of the 22 studies had valid data on return to sports, with 705 participants, of which 412 (58.4%) returned to some form of sport such as swimming and cycling, at a mean follow-up period of 7.6 years. Four studies directly compared limb sparing surgery and amputation; none of these were able to identify a difference in sports participation or ability. CONCLUSION There is insufficient published research to provide guidance for patients with respect to return to sports following musculoskeletal tumors. Future prospective studies are needed to collect better pre- and post-treatment data at multiple time intervals. Validated clinical and patient sports participation outcomes such as type of sports, level, frequency, and validated sports-specific outcome scores should be recorded. In particular, more comparison between limb sparing surgery and amputation would be welcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the effect of sports activity levels on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in long-term survivors of lower-extremity sarcoma. METHODS Eighty-three long-term survivors of bone and soft tissue sarcoma of the lower extremities with a median follow-up of 14 (range: 5-35) years completed the University of California and Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scores before tumor resection, 1 year after surgery and at the latest follow-up, as well as a Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey at the latest follow-up. Simple linear regression models as well as stepwise variable selection with Akaike information criterion (AIC) were undertaken. RESULTS The preoperative UCLA activity level (median: 9, range: 2-10) dropped to a median of 4 (range: 1-10) 1 year after surgery before increasing to a score of 6 (range: 2-10) 5 years after surgery. The long-term SF-36 physical health component summary score (PCS) was 49 (SD: 9), and the mental health component summary score (MCS) was 54 (SD: 7). A linear model with stepwise variable selection identified a negative correlation of PCS with age at surgery (estimate: -0.2; p = 0.02), UCLA score at the last follow-up (estimate: 1.4; p = 0.02) and UCLA score 1 year after surgery (estimate: 1.0; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION As not only the final activity levels but also the status immediately after surgery affect the PCS, higher early activity levels should be a goal of modern rehabilitation after sarcoma treatment. Further studies are needed to weigh the potential postoperative risks of higher sport activity levels against the benefits described in this study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improved patient and limb survival rates have led to an increased interest in the functional outcome and return to sports of patients undergoing megaprosthetic reconstruction in musculoskeletal oncology. This study evaluates the functional outcome and postoperatively performed level of sports in patients undergoing proximal humeral replacement (PHR) following resection of a primary bone sarcoma and identifies potential beneficial and limiting factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2007 and 2020, a total of 606 patients underwent resection of a primary bone sarcoma and reconstruction with a single-design modular implant. For 112 (18%) patients, the location of the tumour was the proximal humerus. Exclusion criteria were death (n = 65), patients living overseas (n = 8), and subsequent amputation (n = 1), leaving 38 patients for evaluation, of whom 32 were available for the study (13 women, median age 42 years). Clinical data regarding oncological and surgical treatment as well as subsequent complications were obtained from the patients' electronic medical records. Functional outcome was determined using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS) and Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) as well as the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV). Return to sports was assessed using the Tegner Activity Score (TS) and the modified Weighted Activity Score (WAS). RESULTS At the last follow-up after a median of 30 months (IQR 22-58), median MSTS was 18 (IQR 12-24), median TESS was 80% (IQR 69-87), median SSV was 35% (IQR 10-58), median TS was 5 (IQR 4-6) and median WAS was 5 (IQR 0-10). Preservation of the axillary nerve, a reverse shoulder reconstruction and a WAS of > 10 prior to surgery were associated with better functional outcome and return to sports activity scores. CONCLUSION Following PHR, good to excellent functional outcomes are possible, and patients regularly return to participate in sports activities-most commonly in low-impact types of sports, but some individuals are even able to participate in high-impact sports activities.

What sports activity levels can be achieved in the long-term after major lower extremity amputation for malignant tumors? - A minimum follow-up of twenty years. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103229. [PMID: 35123033 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well-known that exercise through sports and physical activity has beneficial effects on health. After lower extremity amputation, low rates of participation in sports activities have been shown. So far, there is only limited scientific long-term information concerning sports activity and feasible types of sports in patients with lower extremity amputations due to malignant tumors. This study sought to provide very long-term information about the following questions: (1) What sports activity levels can be achieved after lower extremity amputation due to a malignant tumor? (2) What are feasible types of sports? (3) Is the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score influenced by patient's age, the age at the time of surgery and the amount of prosthesis sockets used to date? HYPOTHESIS Patients with lower extremity amputation due to a malignant tumor cannot regularly participate in moderate sports activities (UCLA Activity Score≥6) in the very long-term. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective questionnaire survey, 21 former patients (seven females, 14 males; median age: 60.5years [range: 33-74]) who underwent an amputation of the lower extremity (14 transfemoral, four knee disarticulations, three transtibial) from 1961 to 1993 due to a malignant tumor were interviewed. The median follow-up was 41.1years (range: 23-55). The patients were interviewed about types of sports, frequencies and durations of sports sessions at the time of the last follow-up, as well as retrospectively. Sports activity levels were then assessed based on the UCLA Activity Score. Demographic background, data on amputation level, histological results, prosthetic devices and revision surgeries were collected. RESULTS Seven patients (33%) were still regularly exercising at least moderate sports activities at the last follow-up, including one patient regularly participating in impact sports. The preoperative median UCLA Activity Score of 9 (range: 2-10) decreased to 5 (range: 2-10) at the last follow-up (p<0.001). Swimming (13 patients, seven on a regular basis), cycling (seven), downhill skiing (five) and hiking (four) were among the most common feasible types of sports. Increasing age had a negative influence on the UCLA Activity Score [95% CI (-0.034, -0.006); RB=-0.020; SD=0.0074; p=0.007]. CONCLUSION After a major amputation in the lower extremity due to a malignant tumor, high activity levels by practicing types of sports such as downhill skiing, are achievable. In the very long-term, a regular participation in at least moderate activities, such as swimming, is possible. Programs for physical and sports activities, based on recommendations drawn from long-term experience, are necessary and should be individually tailored to amputees and their limitations.

Abstract
Simple Summary Malignant bone and soft tissue tumors are usually surgically removed with an envelope of healthy tissue as a barrier. If located in the long bones of the upper and lower extremity, this approach leads to a large bone defect commonly affecting a joint. One way to rebuild the bone defect and the neighboring joint is the use of a megaprosthesis that is anchored in the remaining bone comparable to a conventional joint replacement. In general this approach is popular as it provides early stability and allows the affected patient to begin rehabilitation early on. However, complications leading to long-term unplanned reoperation are common. This article provides an overview of current implant survival, types of complication and long-term outcomes of megaprostheses used following tumor resection. Abstract Megaprosthetic reconstruction of segmental bone defects following sarcoma resection is a frequently chosen surgical approach in orthopedic oncology. While the use of megaprostheses has gained popularity over the last decades and such implants are increasingly used for metastatic reconstructions and in non-tumor cases, there still is a high risk of long-term complications leading to revision surgery. This article investigates current implant survivorship, frequency and types of complications as well as functional outcomes of upper and lower limb megaprosthetic reconstructions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As survival rates associated with the multimodal treatment of malignant bone cancer (osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma) are satisfactory, health-related quality of life and the return to activity and sports by the affected patients have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Nowadays, limbs can be salvaged for most patients using modular endoprostheses. Such patients are typically adolescents and young adults who have high activity levels and thereby high demands for multimodal cancer treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the activity levels and sporting proficiencies that can be attained after modular endoprosthetic treatment of bone sarcomas as well as the extent to which physiotherapeutic and sports interventions influence functional outcome and activity levels. METHODS This non-systematic review of the literature focused on the return to activity and sports after modular endoprosthetic treatment of lower extremities bone sarcomas in adolescents and young adults. The electronic database PubMed was screened for relevant publications on this issue. A treatment algorithm for return to activity and sports in tumor orthopaedics is proposed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The objective activity level (gait cycles per day and gait intensities) in patients treated for bone sarcomas is reduced in short- and long-term follow-ups compared with healthy controls and patients with other cancers (leukaemia). Although a negative impact is observed in terms of motor performance, it shows improvement over time. Functional assessment at 12 postoperative months is sensible as neoadjuvant chemotherapy is completed by then. In long-term follow-up, patients with bone sarcomas can achieve high sports activity levels, i.e., type of sport, frequency/week and UCLA score, after modular endoprosthetic reconstruction. The maximum level is attained at 5 years postoperatively. Nevertheless, there is a shift from high- and intermediate- to low-impact sports. Only 20% of the patients participate in school sports regularly without limitations. The localisation of bone sarcoma, but not the rate of postoperative complications, influences the postoperative activity level. Individualised sports-related interventions during and after multimodal treatment can improve the short-term activity levels; moreover, "serious games" can improve motor performance and postural control. There is no evidence that intense activity levels leads to early loosening of the endoprosthesis. There is insufficient valid data on activity and sports after modular endoprosthetic treatment of bone sarcomas of the upper extremities. CONCLUSION High preoperative activity levels of young patients with bone sarcomas must be considered in tumour orthopaedics. Limitations on sports activities have a significant negative impact on the quality of life and mental health of such patients. Therefore, tumour orthopaedic treatment has to focus on preserving an improvement in these factors. The overall existing evidence concerning this issue is weak. Additional studies to evaluate the ability to return to specific sports activities are desirable, as well as prospective interventional studies.

Abstract
Purpose This study assessed implant survival and dislocation following proximal femur tumor endoprosthetic replacement. Methods Thirty-eight procedures were performed between 2005 and 2019. The cumulative incidence of implant revision was calculated with death as a competing risk. Results The majority of endoprostheses were bipolar hemiarthroplasty (n = 33, 86.8%). The cumulative incidence of revision was 14.6% (95% CI, 3.2%-34.1%) at five years. Dislocation occurred in 7.9% (n = 3) of hips at a mean (SD) 44 ± 35.2 days. Conclusions Proximal femur tumor endoprosthetic replacement is a durable option that tends to outlive patients. Strict postoperative bracing may lower dislocation rates. Level of evidence III.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of the study were to analyze differences in surgical and oncological outcomes, as well as quality of life (QoL) and function in patients with ankle sarcomas undergoing three forms of surgical treatment, minor or major limb salvage surgery (LSS), or amputation. METHODS A total of 69 patients with ankle sarcomas, treated between 1981 and 2017 at two tumour centres, were retrospectively reviewed (mean age at surgery: 46.3 years (SD 22.0); 31 females (45%)). Among these 69 patients 25 were analyzed prospectively (mean age at latest follow-up: 61.2 years (SD 20.7); 11 females (44%)), and assessed for mobility using the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M; for amputees only), the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score. Individual QoL was evaluated in these 25 patients using the five-level EuroQol five-dimension (EQ-5D-5L) and Fragebogen zur Lebenszufriedenheit/Questions on Life Satisfaction (FLZ). RESULTS Of the total number of patients in the study, 22 (32%) underwent minor LSS and 22 (32%) underwent major LSS; 25 underwent primary amputation (36%). Complications developed in 26 (38%) patients, and were more common in those with major or minor LSS in comparison to amputation (59% vs 36% vs 20%; p = 0.022). A time-dependent trend towards higher complication risk following any LSS was present (relative risk: 0.204; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.026 to 1.614; p = 0.095). In the prospective cohort, mean TESS was higher following minor LSS in comparison to amputation (91.0 vs 67.3; p = 0.006), while there was no statistically significant difference between major LSS and amputation (81.6 vs 67.3; p = 0.099). There was no difference in mean UCLA (p = 0.334) between the three groups (p = 0.334). None of the items in FLZ or EQ-5D-5L were different between the three groups (all p > 0.05), except for FLZ item "self-relation", being lower in amputees. CONCLUSION Complications are common following LSS for ankle sarcomas. QoL is comparable between patients with LSS or amputation, despite better mobility scores for patients following minor LSS. We conclude that these results allow a decision for amputation to be made more easily in patients particularly where the principles of oncological surgery would otherwise be at risk.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to assess (1) sports activity, (2) sports involving the upper extremities, (3) functional outcome and (4) sports-related complications of long-term survivors of primary malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus. Methods A total of 18 patients with an endoprosthetic reconstruction for primary malignant bone sarcoma of the proximal humerus (8 male, 10 female, mean age 19.9 ± 8.4 years, range 7.8–37.4 years) with an average follow-up of 18.1 ± 7.4 years (range 6.7–29.8 years) were included. The type of sport, frequency, duration of each sport session and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score were assessed before surgery, at 1 year, 3 years and at the latest follow-up. Functional outcome was assessed by the Toronto extremity salvage score (TESS). Results The mean UCLA activity score decreased from 8.0 (±1.3, range 5–9) preoperative to 4.2 (±1.7, range 3–8) at 1‑year follow-up (p < 0.05). After 3 years it increased to 5.1 (±1.75, range 3–8) and further to 7 (±1.8, range 4–9) at the last follow-up. The mean postoperative TESS was 80.8 (±6.4, range 75.7–91.4) at the latest follow-up. Patients who were initially more active without reconstruction including a synthetic mesh were more likely to develop soft tissue complications accompanied by proximal endoprothesis migration. Conclusion Patients with a modular endoprosthetic reconstruction of the humerus following primary bone sarcoma resume participation in sports. Regarding the low incidence of periprosthetic infections, utilization of a synthetic mesh for reconstruction to prevent soft tissue complications in active patients should be considered.

Results of the MoReSports Expert Opinion Online Survey. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E3638.

Abstract
Sports activity has many benefits in cancer survivors. A key one is having sport activity contribute to the well-being of the individual. However, there are no guidelines about the intensity and kind of postoperative mobility workouts after hip or knee megaprosthetic treatment. Opinion research about sports after modular bone and joint replacement may provide an understanding of surgeons' attitudes on sports activity after megaprostheses of the hip and knee joint. A web survey with members of three international professional organizations of orthopedic tumor reconstructive surgeons was conducted between September 2016 and January 2018. Members were invited via personalized emails by the European Musculoskeletal Oncology Society (EMSOS), the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS), and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS). The questionnaire included 26 questions. A total of 149 surgeons started the survey, and 76 finished the entire survey (American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) second response rate (RR2) EMSOS: 12.3%; ISOLS: 21.9%; MSTS: n/a). More than half of the respondents encourage sarcoma survivors after megaprosthetic treatment to reach an activity level that would allow them to regularly participate in active sporting events of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity level 7 and higher. Orthopedic tumor reconstructive surgeons do fear a number of complications (periprosthetic fracture, allograft failure/fracture, loosening, prosthetic or bearing failure, and early polyethylene wear) due to sports activity after modular bone-joint replacement, but they actually witness fewer complications than they conceptually anticipated. According to the surgeons' opinions, between four to seven types of sports after surgery could reasonably be recommended depending on the type of hip or knee procedures. This survey provides insights into opinions on what could be recommended, what could be allowed if surgeons and their patients agree on the potential negative outcome, and which sports should definitely not be allowed after hip and knee megaprostheses.

Abstract
Advances in chemotherapy, sophisticated imaging, and surgical techniques over the last few decades have allowed limb-salvage surgery (LSS) to become the preferred surgical treatment for bone sarcomas of the extremities. The goal of LLS is to maximize limb functionality to allow for the maintenance of quality of life without compromising overall survival and tumor local recurrence rates. Today, limb-salvage procedures are performed on 80-95% of patients with extremity osteosarcoma, and the 5-year survival rate in extremity osteosarcoma patients is now 60-75%.This chapter will focus on LSS for extremity osteosarcoma. Common types of surgical reconstruction techniques including endoprostheses, intercalary or osteoarticular allografts, vascularized fibular autografts, and allograft prosthetic composites (APC), and their complications such as infection, local recurrence, graft fracture, implant failure, and nonunion will be discussed in detail. Anatomic locations of lesions discussed include the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal tibia, distal tibia, proximal humerus, distal humerus, and forearm bones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the perioperative clinical characteristics of patients with pathological fracture of proximal femur. METHODS A retrospective study reviewed 28 patients who received proximal resection and tumor hemiarthroplasty for malignant proximal femoral tumor in Peking University First Hospital from January 2011 to February 2017. According to the fracture, the patients were divided into two groups: pathological fracture group and non-pathological fracture group. We investigated the clinical characteristics during perioperative period between the two groups. RESULTS Of the 28 patients, 14 (50.0%) patients suffered pathological fracture, and there was no significant difference between the two groups in the patient's age, gender, limb involvement, and tumor source (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (Hct), and lower extremity thrombosis. The albumin (ALB) of pathological fracture group were lower in contrast to non-pathological fracture group (P=0.031). There was no significant difference between the two groups in decline of HGB and Hct on postoperation day 1, operative time, bleeding during operation, time for walking with help of ambulation aid postoperative, and postoperative hospital stay (P>0.05). On post-operation day 7, HGB (P=0.025) and Hct (P=0.039) of pathological fracture group were significant lower in contrast to non-pathological fracture group. Whereas, the total blood loss calculated by Gross equation of pathological fracture group was significant higher in contrast to non-pathological fracture group [(2 066.3±419.8) mL vs. (786.0±152.6) mL, P=0.039]. The patient needed blood transfusion during operation (7/14 vs. 1/14, P=0.033) and postoperative (8/14 vs. 1/14, P=0.013) in pathological fracture group were more than in non-pathological fracture group. At last, Barthel daily life ability score (P=0.009) of pathological fracture group was lower in contrast to non-pathological fracture group, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score was higher (P<0.001). They were almost equal when the patients were discharged (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with pathological fracture had lower ALB during perioperative period. Pathological fracture had no effect on operative time, bleeding during operation and function outcomes. However, the patients with pathological fracture had more total blood loss and lower HGB, Hct in contrast to the patients without pathological fracture. Blood transfusion was more needed in pathological fracture patients.

Abstract
Tumour endoprostheses have facilitated limb-salvage procedures in primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas, and are increasingly being used in symptomatic metastases of the long bones. The objective of the present review was to analyse articles published over the last three years on tumour endoprostheses and to summarize current knowledge on this topic. The NCBI PubMed webpage was used to identify original articles published between January 2015 and April 2018 in journals with an impact factor in the top 25.9% of the respective category (orthopaedics, multidisciplinary sciences). The following search-terms were used: tumour endoprosthesis, advances tumour endoprosthesis, tumour megaprosthesis, prosthetic reconstruction AND tumour. We identified 347 original articles, of which 53 complied with the abovementioned criteria. Articles were categorized into (1) tumour endoprostheses in the shoulder girdle, (2) tumour endoprostheses in the proximal femur, (3) tumour endoprostheses of the knee region, (4) tumour endoprostheses in the pelvis, (5) (expandable) prostheses in children and (6) long-term results of tumour endoprostheses. The topics of interest covered by the selected studies largely matched with the main research questions stated at a consensus meeting, with survival outcome of orthopaedic implants being the most commonly raised research question. As many studies reported on the risk of deep infections, research in the future should also focus on potential preventive methods in endoprosthetic tumour reconstruction.
