    We reviewed the surgical treatment and outcomes of 13 patients with pelvic osteosarcoma treated in our centre in the past decade. The study sample included 9 males and 4 females with a mean age of 28.1 years. Four patients had ileal lesions, five had acetabulum lesions, one had a ischiopubis lesion, and three had involvement of the whole hemipelvis. Seven patients presented with distant metastases at diagnosis. Limb salvage was performed in 6 patients and amputation in 7. In 60% of cases in the limb salvage surgery group, we attempted wide resection with positive microscopic margin compared to only 16.7% in the amputation group. Local recurrence was higher in the limb salvage group. Overall survival was 18 months for mean follow up of 14.8 months. Median survival was 19 months in the limb salvage group compared to 9 months in amputation group. The outcome of surgical treatment of pelvic osteosarcoma remains poor despite advancements in musculoskeletal oncology treatment.

    We evaluated functional outcomes for patients who underwent surgery for resection and endoprosthesis replacement for primary tumours around the knee. We used the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Scoring System (MSTS) for functional evaluations to compare differences between distal femur (DF) and proximal tibia (PT) placements. The study sample included 34 cases of distal femur and 20 cases of proximal tibia endoprosthesis replacement. Primary tumours were classified as follows: 33 osteosarcoma, 20 stage III giant cell tumour (GCT) and one case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The mean MSTS score for both DF and PT endoprosthesis together was 21.13 (70.43%), and The MSTS scores for DF was 21.94 (73.13%) and PT was 19.75 (65.83%) Infection developed in 7 cases and 5 of which were PT endoprosthesis cases. Three deep infections required early, two-stage revision and resulted in poor MSTS scores. We conclude that endoprosthesis replacement for primary bone tumours had early good to excellent functional outcome. There were no differences in functional outcomes when comparing distal femur endoprostheses with proximal tibia endoprostheses.

    KEY WORDS: functional outcome, bone tumour, knee, and endoprosthesis.

  3. Fulltext Anterior stabilisation of sacroilliac joint for complex pelvic injuries
    Wan Faisham WI, Nawaz AH, Joehaimey J, Sallehuddin AY, Wan Z
    Malays J Med Sci, 2009 Jul;16(3):47-51.
    PMID: 22589666 MyJurnal
    Sacroilliac joint diasthesis from high energy trauma is always complicated with chronic pain and long term morbidity. Open anterior stabilisation with plate allow direct reduction and stabilisation with biomechanically advantages. Here we report on four cases of pelvic injury with sacroiliac joint disruption treated with anterior plate stabilisation through a surgical approach similar to that used for anterior ring fractures.
