Morii T, Ogura K, Sato K, Kawai A. Infection of surgery for bone and soft tissue sarcoma with biological reconstruction: Data from the Japanese nationwide bone tumor registry. J Orthop Sci 2024:S0949-2658(24)00087-3. [PMID: 38760246 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2024.04.006] [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: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although biological reconstruction (such as recycled autograft, vascularized autograft, allograft, or bone transport) is possible for bone defects after malignant bone or soft tissue tumor resection, a high incidence of postoperative complications, including infection, poses a problem. The difficulty in accumulating cases has resulted in a lack of reliable etiological information, such as the incidence and risk factors of postoperative infections. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study on the nationwide registry data. The primary endpoint was the need for additional surgical intervention for infection control. The overall incidence of postoperative infection and the related risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS We included 707 malignant bone and soft tissue tumors with biological reconstruction, including recycled autograft, vascularized autograft, allograft, bone transport, and combinations of these. The incidence of postoperative infection was 10.8%. Patients reconstructed by pedicled autograft showed a higher incidence of infection, while cases involving the combination of recycled and pedicled autograft or allograft showed a lower incidence. Independent risk factors for infection included age over 17, tumor diameter over 10 cm, the tumor located on the trunk or being high grade, reconstruction by pedicled autograft, and delayed wound healing. CONCLUSION Infection incidence was comparable to those in previous reports. Several conventional and novel risk factors were extracted by administering nationwide registry data. Data from the nationwide registry was informative for analyzing the incidence of postoperative infection in biological reconstruction with malignant bone and soft tissue tumor resection.

Lee CJ, Tiourin E, Khoshab N, Leis AR, Nassif NA, Misaghi A, Vyas RM. Vascularized Fibular Epiphyseal Transfer for Pediatric Limb Salvage: Review of Applications and Outcomes. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2023; 11:e5354. [PMID: 37859637 PMCID: PMC10584290 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer (VFET) offers a functional advantage in pediatric limb salvage due to the preservation of growth potential and an articular surface for remodeling. This review summarizes the available evidence on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric reconstruction applying VFET at different recipient sites and with varying techniques. VFET was used to reconstruct the proximal humerus, distal radius or ulna, proximal femur, distal fibula, calcaneus, and mandible. Although most often harvested on the anterior tibial artery, VFET has also been performed using the peroneal artery, the inferior lateral genicular artery, and a dual pedicle. Recipient site flap inset most often involved fixation with plates and/or screws as well as soft tissue reconstruction using a retained slip of biceps femoris tendon. Outcomes included limb growth, range of motion, and strength. The most common reported complications were bone flap fracture and peroneal nerve palsy. The anterior tibial artery was the most applied pedicle with reliable limb growth, but with the added risk of postoperative peroneal palsy. Bone flap fracture most often occurred at the proximal humerus and femur recipient sites. Plate fixation and the combined use of allograft had lower instances of bone flap fracture. This review highlights how the anticipated dynamic growth and remodeling this free flap offers in the long term must be weighed against its complexity and potential complications.

INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023:10.1007/s00264-023-05858-y. [PMID: 37300564 PMCID: PMC10257171 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-023-05858-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We propose to survey - even if arbitrarily - the publications in paediatric orthopaedics and traumatology that have had the greatest impact on the specialty during the period extending from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2020 and the end of all health restrictions in March 2023. METHODS Only studies with a high level of evidence or clinical relevance were selected. We briefly discussed the results and conclusions of these quality articles to situate them in relation to the existing literature and current practice. RESULTS Publications are presented by dividing traumatology and orthopaedics whose publications are further subdivided according to anatomical districts; articles concerning neuro-orthopaedics, tumours, and infections were presented separately while sports medicine is jointly presented with knee-related articles. CONCLUSIONS Despite the difficulties encountered during the global COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2023), orthopaedic and trauma specialists, including paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, have maintained a high level of scientific output, in terms of quantity and quality of production.

Epiphyseal-sparing biological reconstruction of bone sarcoma in children: Focus on articular function and growth. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 109:103540.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Epiphyseal preservation surgery and biological reconstruction after resection of metaphyseal bone sarcoma in children is a surgical challenge which can only be justified if future joint function is maintained. HYPOTHESIS The main hypothesis of this work was that long-term function was maintained. The secondary hypotheses were that local control of the disease and growth restoration were achieved, at the cost of an acceptable number of complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD This was a retrospective study of 14 children with a median age of 8 years [2-14] at the time of surgery. The tumors (Ewing's sarcoma or osteosarcoma) were mostly situated at the knee (n=9) and hip (n=3). The reconstruction used an induced membrane (n=7) or an allograft (n=7). We studied joint function, mechanisms contributing to loss of growth, surgical complications and survival at the last follow-up. RESULTS At the median follow-up of 76 months [24-130], 9 out of 14 patients required revision for non-union, and 4 of them required a second revision. At the last follow-up, 82% of the length had been restored, due to 3 bone lengthenings and 7 contralateral epiphysiodeses. Preserved joint function was excellent with an average modified MSTS score of 28.3/30 [24-30]. No local recurrence was reported. DISCUSSION Our experience of epiphyseal preservation allows local control of the disease and very good function but at the cost of a cumbersome surgical program (12 out of 14 patients were reoperated on, with an average of 1.2 interventions per patient). The main difficulty is the growth management, most often by complex programs of alternating bone lengthening and shortening. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective study.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103220. [PMID: 35093566 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103220] [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: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximity of tumor to the neurovascular bundle (NVB) makes achieving a wide margin difficult. In low-grade parosteal osteosarcoma (POS), it is not clear whether adherence of tumor to NVB increases the rate of local recurrence (LR). In this study, we evaluated whether tumor adherence to the NVB increases the risk of LR in low-grade POS of the distal femur? HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that if the thin neurovascular barrier (the adventitia of the vessels and the epineurium of the nerve) prevents tumor penetration, the rate of LR should be comparable between the lesions with and without a continuous layer of healthy fatty tissue between the tumor and NVB. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective survey, 30 patients with low-grade POS of the posterior aspect of the distal femur were evaluated for the proximity of mass to NVB. Based on the proximal to distal T1 axial MRI sections, the tumors were divided into two groups including the tumors with an uninterrupted (group A) and interrupted (group B) rim of fatty tissue between the mass and NVB. The rate of LR was compared between the two study groups. The concordance of MRI in detecting NVB adherence was checked with pathology specimen. RESULTS Using MRI, we identified 16 cases in group A and 14 cases in group B. The MRI status of fatty rim was concordant with pathology specimen in 96.4% of cases. The mean follow-up period of the two groups was not statistically different (117±27.6 vs. 105.8±29.4 months, respectively, p=0.29). The other baseline characteristics of the two groups were statistically comparable, as well. The rate of LR was 12.5% (2 out of 16 patients) in group A and 14.3% (2 out of 14 patients) in group B (95% CI: 0.142-9.586, p=0.87). The 10-year recurrence-free survival was 87.5% for group A and 85.7% for group B (p=0.9). DISCUSSION The absence of a continuous rim of fatty tissue between the tumor and NVB in MRI does not increase the risk of LR in low-grade POS of the distal femur. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Reconstructive microsurgery has been an essential aspect of orthopaedic surgery and extremity reconstruction since the introduction of the operating microscope in the mid-20th century. The reconstructive ladder ranges from simple healing by secondary intention to complex procedures such as free tissue transfer and vascularized composite allotransplantation. As orthopaedic surgery has evolved over the past 60 years, so too have the reconstructive microsurgical skills that are often needed to address common orthopaedic surgery problems. In this article, we will discuss a variety of complex orthopaedic surgery scenarios ranging from trauma to infection to tumor resection as well as the spectrum of microsurgical solutions that can aid in their management.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumours of the lower limb represent the majority of cases in both osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma in the growth period. Surgical treatment represents a key element of treatment. Different localizations and age groups require a differentiated surgical approach. Life and limb salvage are first on the list of treatment goals, followed by functional and cosmetic considerations. This review article delivers and discusses current surgical treatment strategies and outcomes for lower limb malignant bone tumours in children.
