  • Title: [Surgical therapy of pelvic tumors].
    Author: Mutschler W, Burri C.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1987 Nov; 58(11):724-31. PubMed ID: 3691213.
    Abstract:
    Results in 72 patients with primary tumors of the pelvis and in 140 patients with metastases are reported. Classification, localization, type of resection and reconstruction including bone grafts, osteosynthesis and internal hemipelvectomy are described. In benign and low grade malignant bone tumors continuity resections and pelvic reconstructions give good oncological and functional results. In high grade malignant bone tumors and soft tissue sarcomas the 5-years-survival rate is only 37% respectively 19%. Metastases of the pelvis and proximal femur are treated by combinations of metal implants and bone cement as well as by different types of total hip prostheses.
