RECONSTRUCTION WITH MODULAR ENDOPROSTHESIS AFTER PERIACETABULAR RESECTIONS IN PATIENS WITH PELVIC TUMORS. EARLY RESULTS. MULTICENTRAL R

Background. Currently, the major purpose for pelvic surgery is to conduct a locoregional radical procedure while preserving a good quality of life. When performing periacetabular resections, the acetabulum and the hip joint are the most difficult areas to reconstruct. According to some authors, the acetabulum and hip joint reconstruction with modular endoprostheses for patients with periacetabular tumors would lead to better clinical outcomes. The paper presents our experience using this surgical technique.

Methods. Between 2011 and 2015, a total of 23 patients underwent periacetabular resection with the acetabulum and hip joint reconstruction using a modular endoprosthesis. There were 10 (44 %) male and 13 (56 %) female patients aged from 20 to 64 years with a median of 44 years. The histological types were as follows: 12 (52 %) chondrosarcomas, 4 (17 %) giant-cell tumors, 2 (8 %) osteosarcomas and 1 Ewing’s sarcoma, 1 malignant fibrous hystiocytoma, 1 synovial bone sarcoma, 1 solitary metastasis from renal cell and gastric carcinomas. Stage Ib bone sarcoma was diagnosed in 8 patients and stage IIb in 6 patients.

Results. In accordance with Enneking classification, type I-II-III resections were performed in 14 (61 %) patients and type II-III-IV resections in 7 (30 %) patients. The median duration of surgery was 320 min (240–520 minutes). The median intraoperative blood loss was 5 200 ml (1 000–20 000 ml). Negative resection margins (R0) were achieved in 20 (87 %) patients. Positive resection margin (R1) was observed in 3 (13 %) patients with G-I chondrosarcoma. The median follow-up was 32 months (3–48 months). Disease progression was diagnosed in 7 (30 %) patients at a follow-up from 6 to 18 months. The functional outcome after surgery was assessed according to the MSTS score, with the median value of 48% (15–78 %). Postoperative complications were diagnosed in 10 (43 %) patients.

Conclusion: The use of the modular acetabulum and hip joint replacement systems allows one to achieve favorable functional outcome in the postoperative period and to reduce the time of postoperative rehabilitation.
