  • Title: [Massive allografts of the pelvis. Possibilities and limitations in oncologic and reconstructive surgery].
    Author: Langlais F, Thomazeau H, Kerbrat P, Bracq H, Bergeron C.
    Journal: Chirurgie; 1996; 121(3):215-9. PubMed ID: 8945829.
    Abstract:
    Nine massive hemipelvic allografts were used to reconstruct the pelvic ring and the hip articulation after resection of malignant tumors. At follow up of 3 to 10 years, six patients were free of oncologic disease. In the 3 acetabular massive allografts, functional results were close from those standard THR. After resection of hemipelvis and adjacent muscles, patients resume a normal family life (painless hip, poor active motion, walking with a crutch) with a functional result much better than after amputation. Considering these encouraging results in oncologic surgery, we used similar technics for reconstruction of very severe bone loss after iterative failures of THR revisions: some examples are reported at medium follow up.
