Tumour-to-tumour metastasis: head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to enchondroma.
Tumor-to-tumor metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to benign enchondroma is exceptionally rare, representing an unusual malignancy pattern.
CT features of sclerotic margin distribution and thickness reliably differentiate Schmorl's nodes from osteolytic metastases without radiomics enhancement.
Intramedullary Reaming Biopsy in Diagnosing Metastatic Long Bone Disease.
Intramedullary reaming biopsy has 70% sensitivity for diagnosing metastatic disease in long bone lesions; formal open biopsy should be considered for negative results.
Orthoplastic Surgery: A Practical Approach to Limb Salvage.
Orthoplastic protocols combining orthopedic and plastic surgical principles reduce time to fixation and coverage, decreasing infection risk and improving limb salvage outcomes.
Scaphoid fracture surgical fixation in elderly patients achieves high union rates comparable to younger cohorts, supporting operative management in appropriate candidates.
Carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK and titanium spinal implants show comparable survival and local disease control in vertebral metastases treatment.
Delayed referral to a sarcoma center after unplanned soft-tissue sarcoma excision is independently associated with significantly higher metastasis rates and mortality, emphasizing urgent specialist referral.
Common quality-of-life measures underestimate physical functioning burden in sarcoma patients post-amputation; ICF framework highlights overlooked domains.
Consensus Guidelines on Perioperative Care in Primary Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Surgery.
First consensus perioperative guidelines for primary retroperitoneal sarcoma surgery provide multidisciplinary ERAS-based recommendations to standardize care and improve outcomes in this high-risk population.
Evaluation of Language Diversity Among Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Only 8.3% of orthopaedic surgeons speak languages beyond English, creating significant disparities with patient populations and limiting language-concordant care.
Recombinant LGR4 extracellular domain inhibits osteoclast formation and reduces bone metastasis burden by 67%, suggesting novel therapeutic potential.
Osteochondroma in Japan (4,843 cases) most commonly affects ages under 20 in the lower limb; multiple osteochondroma presents younger with symmetric distribution.
Higher tumor-associated neutrophil density predicts poor neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in osteosarcoma; biopsy-based model enables early risk stratification.
Neoadjuvant EBRT with intraoperative IORT for retroperitoneal sarcoma carries 25% major complication rate, similar to EBRT alone with acceptable morbidity profile.
Age-related real-world treatment patterns and outcomes of localised, high-grade osteosarcoma.
Wide resection plus perioperative chemotherapy improves osteosarcoma survival at all ages; for patients over 40, guideline-concordant treatment remains the standard regardless of chemotherapy sequencing.
Neoadjuvant denosumab plus sunitinib for high-grade giant cell tumor of bone produced near-complete giant cell regression and 80% two-year disease-free survival, supporting further prospective study of this dual-targeted approach.
Postoperative acute kidney injury in myeloma patients undergoing spinal surgery independently worsens survival, increases infection risk, and accelerates muscle and bone loss.
Posterolateral Wiltse-type corridor provides short surgical trajectory with good instrument maneuverability for intra-psoas schwannomas as alternative to anterior approaches.
Composite endoprosthetic reconstruction around the knee achieves 61% ten-year implant survival with acceptable functional outcomes; infection is leading cause of late failure.
Impact of complications on survival after surgery for metastatic spinal cord compression.
Postoperative systemic complications independently reduce survival after metastatic spinal cord compression surgery; impaired preoperative ambulation predicts higher complication risk and should guide surgical decision-making.
Ewing sarcoma tumor microenvironment includes immunosuppressive cells and molecules impairing anti-tumor immunity; targeting these offers therapeutic potential.
Diagnostic errors in musculoskeletal oncology and possible mitigation strategies.
Cognitive biases—especially anchoring, premature closure, and availability bias—are the primary drivers of diagnostic error in musculoskeletal oncology imaging and can be mitigated through structured reasoning.
State-of-the-art of minimally invasive treatments of bone metastases.
Minimally invasive interventional procedures treat bone metastases with less trauma than open surgery; advances in technology expand treatment options beyond conservative care.
Denosumab effectively prevents skeletal-related events in metastatic bone disease but requires monitoring for rare serious toxicities including osteonecrosis of jaw.
Telangiectatic soft tissue sarcomas with dominant hemorrhage can mimic benign chronic expanding hematomas; any lesion with sizeable hemorrhage warrants referral to sarcoma center.
Sarcoma Surveillance: A Review of Current Evidence and Guidelines.
No universal sarcoma surveillance standards exist; follow-up should be intense early post-treatment, continue 10 years, with modality selection individualized by type.
