Abstract:
Objective:To explore the early and mid-term efficacy of three-dimensional printed customized porous prosthesis with preserved articular in the reconstruction of ultra-long segmental bone defect around the metaphysis of peri-knee.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 24 patients who underwent reconstruction of ultra-long segmental bone defect around the metaphysis of peri-knee using 3D-printed customized porous prostheses at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2015 to June 2021. There were 14 female cases and 10 male cases, with an average age of 28.9±16.5 years (range, 12-61 years), 12 cases at the distal end of the femur and 12 cases at the proximal end of the tibia. Tumor types: 16 cases of osteosarcoma, 4 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 2 cases of chondrosarcoma, and 2 case of parosteal osteosarcoma. All patients were classified as Enneking stage IIB. Record the oncology results of the patients, the length of tumor segment resection, and the remaining bone length at the distal femur or proximal tibia, as well as complications, systemic metastasis and imaging changes. The bone integration at the prosthesis-bone interface was evaluated by tomosynthesis-shimadzu metal artifact reduction technology (T-SMART). Limb function was evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS)-93 score and knee range of motion assessment.Results:All 24 patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up, with an average follow-up time of 51.8±12.7 months (range, 32-99 months). The length of femoral osteotomy was 241.1±66.2 mm (range, 150.6-333.4 mm), and the length of tibial osteotomy was 198.6±35.6 mm (range, 156.6-287.6 mm). The remaining bone length at the epiphyseal end around the knee joint (from the knee joint plane to the osteotomy plane of the distal femur or proximal tibia) was 52.6±11.0 mm (range, 31.1-77.5 mm). At the last follow-up, 23 patients survived tumor-free, while one patient died due to lung metastasis 54 months after the operation. One patient had prosthesis fracture 75 months after the operation, two patients had aseptic loosening 6 and 8 months after the operation, and the T-SMART of the remaining 20 patients showed that the implanted prostheses all achieved good osseointegration. At the last follow-up, the range of motion of the knee joint was 126.2°±7.5° (range, 110.0°-140.0°), and the MSTS-93 score was 26.7±1.8 points (range, 23-30 points). Among them, the MSTS-93 score of the femoral prosthesis was 26.7±1.6 points (range, 24-29 points), and the MSTS-93 score of the tibial prosthesis was 26.9±1.9 points (range, 23-30 points). The average knee range of motion was 126.2°±7.5° (range, 110°-140°), and the MSTS-93 functional score was 26.7±1.8 points (range, 23-30 points) at the last follow-up. The femoral component had an average score of 26.7±1.6 points (range, 24-29 points), while the tibial component had an average score of 26.9±1.9 points (range, 23-30 points).Conclusion:The application three-dimensional printed customized porous prosthesis with preserved articular in the reconstruction of ultra-long segmental bone defect around the metaphysis of peri-knee can preserve the joint, restore limb function well, and have a low incidence of prosthesis complications, with good clinical efficacy in the early and middle stages.
