Resections of primary pelvic bone tumors are frequently complicated by surgical site infections (SSIs), thereby impairing the functional prognosis of patients, especially in case of implant removal. Although prophylactic antibiotics play an essential role in preventing SSIs, there are presently no recommendations that support their appropriate use. This study aimed to assess the impact of a 24 h prophylactic protocol on the bacterial ecology, the resistance pattern, and the SSI healing rate. We hypothesized that this protocol not only limits the emergence of resistance but also results in a good cure rate with implant retention in case of SSI. A retrospective study was performed that included all patients with an SSI following a pelvic bone tumoral resection between 2005 and 2017 who received a 24 h antibiotic prophylaxis protocol. Twenty-nine patients with an SSI were included. We observed a 75.9% rate of polymicrobial infection, with a high prevalence of digestive flora microorganisms and a majority of wild-type phenotypes. We confirmed that there was no significant emergence of resistant flora. After first-line debridement, antibiotics (DA) if any implant was used, or debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) whenever possible, we obtained a 79.3% cure rate, with implant removal in 20% of cases. The absence of an implant was significantly associated with SSI healing. Early infection management and low resistance profiles may also have a positive effect, but this needs to be confirmed in a larger cohort. In light of this, the use of a 24 h prophylactic protocol in primary pelvic bone tumor resections is associated with a favorable infection cure rate and implant retention in case of SSI, and minimal selection of resistant microorganisms.

Para-acetabular insufficiency fractures are rare and exceedingly difficult to diagnose without a high index of suspicion, since the images mimic those of bone tumors. We herein present the case of a 55-year-old woman who suffered from hip pain with subacute onset. She had undergone a hysterectomy-ovariectomy due to endometriosis when she was 41 years old. Her bone mineral density was normal due to supplemental treatment with female hormones. About 3 months after onset, she was referred to our institute with a diagnosis of pelvic bone tumor. Plain radiographs and computed tomography showed irregular osteosclerosis in the para-acetabulum. Bone scintigraphy demonstrated uptake in the para-acetabulum. Magnetic resonance imaging showed abnormal signal with low-signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high-signal intensity on T2-weighted images throughout the entire hemipelvic bone. Since the pain continued for more than 3 months, open biopsy was undertaken and the lesion was found to be non-neoplastic. Six months after onset, the pain disappeared. The clinical course suggested a diagnosis of insufficiency fracture in the para-acetabulum. Para-acetabular insufficiency fractures should always be considered in cases of hip pain, even in patients with prolonged symptoms.

ABSTRACTAlthough osteosarcoma of the head and neck is a relatively rare disease, it is a highly malignant bone tumor. Diagnosis of the tumor is important especially in early stages for improving prognosis. The patients with orofacial pain firstly prefer to go to dentists. Such kind of pain may be associated with an oral or maxillofacial cancer. The dentists must be careful for evaluating the clinical and radiologic clues. These clues determine the biopsy necessity, type and management plan. The aim of this case presentation is to emphasize the importance of dentists on diagnosis and prognosis of oral malignancies.

Osteoblastoma is an uncommon primary bone tumor that usually presents as a painful lesion in a long bone or in the spine. Osteoblastoma has been reported only twice in the literature in conjunction with systemic fibromatosis. The authors report the case of an 8-year-old girl with suspected Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, a rare syndrome of systemic fibromatosis, who presented with a painless thoracic rib lesion that was found to be an osteoblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common bone tumor diagnosed in dogs and represents approximately 85% of canine skeletal tumors. The most commonly employed therapy is amputation of the limb followed by chemotherapy. However, preservation of the afflicted limb has been successful for patients with concomitant neurological or orthopedic conditions, which are contraindications to the complete amputation, or with owners reluctant to the possibility of amputation. For these reasons, the purpose of this study was to describe the technical procedures that allowed limb salvage through the use of pedicle frozen grafts in a dog with femoral OSA. Surgical procedures consisted of a femoral diaphyseal osteotomy with tearing of the soft tissues; thus, creating a bone pedicle that was frozen in liquid nitrogen according to the protocol outlined by TSUCHIYA et al. (2005). Limb function remained satisfactory for six months.
