  • PROSTHESIS REPLACEMENT OF PROXIMAL HUMERUS AFTER RESECTION OF MALIGNANT TUMOR

    Objective To study the operative effect and complication of the prosthesis replacement of the proximal humerus with malignant tumor. Methods From October 1998 to August 2003, the prosthesis replacement was performed to treat the proximal femur with malignant tumor in 4 patients, including 2 patients with osteosarcoma (Enneking staging,ⅡA) and 2 patients with giancell tumor of the bone (ⅡA,ⅡB). By the International Society of Limb Salvage(ISOLS) criterion, the 2 cases of osteosarcoma were preoperatively scored as 4 and 5 points, and 2 cases of giant cell tumor of the bone were scored as 9 and 11 points. The patients’ psychological conditions as well as their limb pain, shape, locality, activity, and function werealso observed. Results The follow-up for 24-58 months (mean, 44 months) showed that there was no local recurrence or infection in all the patients except onepatient who had the loosening of the screws for the fixation 17 months after operation and had no treatment. After operation, all the patients had a better postoperative extention angle from 22° to 41°(mean, 25°), bending angle from 29° to 80°(mean, 35°), abduction angle from 5° to 28°, and circumgyrate angle from 15° to 22° in their shoulder joints. However, the shoulder joint function was still unstable to some extent and the joints had a decreased strength. By the criterion formulated by the ISOLS, the postoperative score for assessing the 2 patientswith osteosarcoma was increased by 16 points when compared with the preoperative score; the score for the 2 patients with giant cell tumor of the bone was increased by 9.5 points.Conclusion The prosthesis replacement to treat the malignant tumor of the proximal humerus is the good method of choice and has a good therapeutic result; however, there are more complications and so the method should be cautiously employed in the clinical practice.

  • RESECTION OF NERVE OF WRIST COMBINING REPLACEMENT OF LUNATE WITH BONE CEMENT PROSTHESIS IN TREATMENT OF KIENBOCK S DISEASE

    OBJECTIVE There are various methods used to treat the Kienbock’s disease with various outcomes. This study investigated the effect of combining acrylic lunate prosthesis replacement with resection of articular branches to wrist from anterior and dorsal interosseous nerve. METHODS From January 1992 to January 1997, six cases were included. All of the patients were in stage III according to Lichtman’s classification. Besides replacement of the acrylic lunate prosthesis, segment of the pure sensory branches from anterior and posterior interosseous nerves were resected. RESULTS Follow-up for 10 to 54 months (an average of 32 months) the pain was relieved in all patients except one. The range of movement of wrists were as followings: The extension of the wrist was 20 to 35 degrees (an average of 26 degrees) and flexion was 20 to 35 degrees (an average of 32 degrees). There was no improvement in radial and ulnar deviation. CONCLUSION Lunate prosthesis replacement combined with resection of articular branches to wrist resulted in a painless wrist and was a satisfactory method.

  • ABSTRACTSTREATMENT OF PROSTHESIS REPLACEMENT FOR MALIGNANT TUMOR OF THEPROXIMAL HUMORAL

    After freatment of prosthesis replacement for 12 malignant tumer of the proximal humoral werereported. The operation were performed after the indications and methods of treatment had beendefined. All of the 12 cases were followed-up, in the average of 8 yeare. On functional evaluation , 8cases had satisfactory result , but per in 1 cases and 3 cases died from recurrence or metastasis withinfive years. The indieation of the procthetic replantation, the complications, and revision weredisecused.
