Impacts of Tumor Location, Nature and Bone Destruction of Extremity Osteosarcoma on Selection of Limb Salvage Operative Procedure
ConclusionSelection of limb salvage operative protocol for extremity OS should rely on tumor location, nature and extent of bone destruction. Regardless of tumor site, mechanical reconstruction is indicated for tumors with high invasion scores (>8), whereas biological reconstruction is preferred for those with low invasion scores (≤8). Tumors sparing the epiphyseal line or plate are ideal candidates for articular preservation. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Delay in Diagnosis and Its Effect on Clinical Outcome in High‐grade Sarcoma of Bone: A Referral Oncological Centre Study
ConclusionProlonged delay in diagnosis does not result in lower survival. Metastatic disease has a pronounced effect on survival. Aggressive tumor behavior results in shorter delays. Minimizing GP‐related delays could be achieved by adopting a lower threshold for obtaining plain radiographs at the pre‐hospital stage. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Advances in Bone‐targeted Drug Delivery Systems for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Osteosarcoma
Targeted therapy for osteosarcoma includes organ, cell and molecular biological targeting; of these, organ targeting is the most mature. Bone‐targeted drug delivery systems are used to concentrate chemotherapeutic drugs in bone tissues, thus potentially resolving the problem of reaching the desired foci and minimizing the toxicity and adverse effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Some progress has been made in bone‐targeted drug delivery systems for treatment of osteosarcoma; however, most are still at an experimental stage and there is a long transitional period to clinical application. Therefore, determining how to co...

Surgery Combined with Radiotherapy to Treat Spinal Tumors: A Review of Published Reports
Spinal tumors result in high morbidity and a high rate of lower limb paralysis. Both surgical therapy and radiation therapy (RT) are used to treat spinal tumors; however, how best to combine these two therapies to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks is still being debated. It is also difficult to decide the optimal timing, course and dose of RT, especially in pregnant women and children. The aim of this review is to assist surgeons who are dealing with spinal tumors by providing comprehensive information about advanced techniques for administering RT with greater precision and safety, and about the impact of vario...

Treatment of Spinal Tuberculosis by Debridement, Interbody Fusion and Internal Fixation via Posterior Approach Only
Surgical treatment for spinal tuberculosis includes focal tuberculosis debridement, segmental stability reconstruction, neural decompression and kyphotic deformity correction. For the lesions mainly involved anterior and middle column of the spine, anterior operation of debridement and fusion with internal fixation has been becoming the most frequently used surgical technique for the spinal tuberculosis. However, high risk of structural damage might relate with anterior surgery, such as damage in lungs, heart, kidney, ureter and bowel, and the deformity correction is also limited. Due to the organs are in the front of spin...

S2 Alar‐iliac Fixation: A Powerful Procedure for the Treatment of Kyphoscoliosis
The purpose of this study was to introduce a powerful technique for the treatment of kyphoscoliosis. There are currently multiple techniques for sacropelvic fixation, including trans‐iliac bars and iliac and iliosacral screws. Several studies have documented the use of these instrumentation techniques; however, a ubiquitous problematic issue concerns the need for separate incisions for the use of offset connectors, which add to surgical time and morbidity. Any additional dissection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue or muscle in this area is believed to increase the incidence of complications of wound healing. However, as ...
