Are cemented endoprosthetic reconstructions superior to uncemented endoprostheses in terms of postoperative outcomes and complications in patients with extremity-located bone metastasis scheduled for adjuvant radiotherapy?
Journal of Arthroplasty Oct 22, 2020
Erol B, et al. - The present study was performed to evaluate whether cemented endoprosthetic reconstructions superior to uncemented endoprostheses in terms of postoperative outcomes and complications in patients with extremity-located bone metastasis scheduled for adjuvant radiotherapy. Researchers retrospectively examined 130 extremities of 115 patients who had undergone resection and cemented or uncemented endoprosthetic reconstruction for bone metastasis, followed by postoperative radiation therapy. No significant variation was observed in complication rates of cemented or uncemented endoprosthetic reconstructions in patients with extremity-located bone metastases scheduled for adjuvant radiotherapy. The data recorded that the only outcome in favor of cemented prostheses was significantly higher Musculoskeletal Tumor Society functional scores at last follow-up.
