New research

  1. Clinical significance of early magnetic resonance imaging assessment following separation surgery for metastatic spinal cord compression.

    The Spine Journal · Sep 2026 · PubMed

    In 59 patients undergoing separation surgery for metastatic spinal cord compression, MRI-confirmed successful decompression at 2-3 weeks was linked to better motor recovery, ambulation, shorter hospital stay, and longer survival.

  2. Can Orthopaedic Oncologists Agree on What Is and Is Not a Pathologic Fracture?

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research · Aug 25 2026 · PubMed

    A survey of orthopaedic oncologists found only moderate-to-substantial agreement on whether imaging represented a pathologic fracture, with major disagreement in ambiguous cortical involvement cases, underscoring the need for a standardized definition.

  3. Skeletal metastatic burden as a strong prognostic factor of survival in advanced NSCLC treated with chemo-immunotherapy: An exploratory imaging-based analysis.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 10 2026 · PubMed

    In advanced NSCLC patients on chemo-immunotherapy, higher bone metastatic burden on imaging was the strongest independent predictor of worse overall survival compared to other metastatic sites.

  4. Risk of fracture among lung cancer survivors by cancer treatment modality: A population-based retrospective cohort study.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Jul 31 2026 · PubMed

    Korean cohort study found lung cancer surgery survivors have significantly higher fracture risk (especially vertebral, within the first year) than matched controls, with risk varying by treatment modality, supporting osteoporosis screening in this population.eneficial.

Recent reviews

  1. Reconstruction of Internal Hemipelvectomy Defects After Oncologic Resection.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Feb 01 2025 · PubMed

    This review outlines reconstructive strategies—skeletal and soft-tissue—for the four types of internal hemipelvectomy defects following pelvic tumor resection.

  2. Recent Advances in Minimally Invasive Local Cancer Control and Skeletal Stabilization of Periacetabular Osteolytic Metastases Under C-Arm Imaging Guidance.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Feb 01 2025 · PubMed

    This review details C-arm–guided percutaneous techniques for minimally invasive stabilization and local control of periacetabular osteolytic metastases, avoiding morbidity of open reconstruction.

  3. Radiation Therapy for Primary and Metastatic Spine Tumors.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Sep 15 2024 · PubMed

    This review covers modern radiation therapy principles, techniques, and multidisciplinary management strategies for primary and metastatic spine tumors.

  4. Pelvic bone tumor resection: post-operative imaging.

    Skeletal Radiology · Jul 2021 · PubMed

    Reviews optimal post-operative imaging and expected findings after pelvic bone tumor resection, highlighting recognition of infection, recurrence, and reconstruction-related complications.

  5. The surgical outcome and recurrence rate of tenosynovial giant cell tumor in the elbow: a literature review.

    Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery · Sep 2019 · PubMed

    A literature review of 27 elbow TSGCT cases found open synovectomy effective for local and diffuse disease, with arthroscopic excision emerging as a promising option for diffuse tumors.
