Cemented tumor prostheses demonstrate good short-term outcomes in bone tumor surgery. Modern cemented constructs show promising survival rates, supporting their routine use in limb reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Debate exists regarding cemented versus cementless tumor prostheses.
  • Tumor prostheses are crucial for limb salvage surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes and complications of modular cemented implants in tumor surgery.
  • To support the routine use of cemented tumor prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 135 patients with modular cemented implants.
  • Analysis of complications, survival rates, and functional scores (MSTS, TESS).

Main Results:

  • No aseptic loosening or stem fracture observed.
  • Complications included infection (11), local recurrence (8), dislocations (3), and instability (3).

  • 5-year survival rates ranged from 37% (proximal tibia) to 84% (distal femur).

    • Conclusions:

    • Modern cemented tumor prostheses offer good short-term results in tumor surgery.
    • Endoprosthesis survival is influenced by the site of bone resection.
    • Cemented constructs are a viable option for limb reconstruction in bone tumor patients.
