Musculoskelet Surg 2024:10.1007/s12306-024-00844-y. [PMID: 38951420 DOI: 10.1007/s12306-024-00844-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
With the improvement in survival of patients undergoing knee reconstructive surgeries, the functional parameter became widely studied heading optimize and minimize motor sequelae. In patients undergoing knee endoprosthesis, proximal tibial or distal femoral resections affect the functioning of the knee extensor mechanism, with possible repercussions on gait. Seventeen patients were selected, divided into two groups, undergoing distal femoral or proximal tibial resection, and gait analysis examination was performed. Changes in gait velocity, cadence, step length, and alterations in the support and balance phase were observed. No major statistically significant differences were found in the kinetic and kinematic parameters between the operated groups. The study corroborates that although tibial resections have a higher theoretical risk of compromising the extensor mechanism, such data were not observed in the analyzed sample.

Qual Life Res 2024; 33:1157-1174. [PMID: 38079025 DOI: 10.1007/s11136-023-03554-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted a systematic review of studies reporting on measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), with a special focus on the use of the preference-weighted instruments, in patients with extremity bone sarcoma treated with limb-salvage surgery or amputation. METHODS We searched MedLine, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science for English-language studies reporting on HRQoL of patients with bone sarcoma from inception to 28 August 2023. All records found were independently reviewed by two reviewers. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the CONSORT 2010 checklist to assess the quality of the cohort and randomised studies, respectively. RESULTS The search identified 1225 records, of which 16 studies were included for data extraction. Only one study used a preference-weighted instrument for measuring HRQoL in a small sample of patients (n = 28). Ten studies used the generic SF-36 questionnaire, but no preference-weighted HRQoL based on SF-6D was derived from the SF-36 scores. Most studies comparing HRQoL between amputation and limb-salvage surgery reported no significant differences. Twelve cohort studies scored six or more out of nine points based on the NOS. The only randomised study scored 54% on the CONSORT 2010 checklist. CONCLUSIONS The approaches used to measure HRQoL were inconsistent and outcome scores varied substantially. Only one study used preference-weighted instruments for HRQoL measurement. Future research into the surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcoma should consider the use of preference-weighted instruments to measure HRQoL, which will therefore enable economic evaluation for the growing orthopaedic armamentarium of novel surgical interventions. REGISTRATION This systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42021282380).

Abstract
Bone sarcomas of the lower extremities are rare malignancies occurring mostly amongst adolescents and young adults. Necessarily, the therapy conducted in sarcoma centers is multimodal and multidisciplinary. In certain cases, in a metastasis free situation with adequate therapy, an overall survival rate of 90% can be achieved. Two principal surgical procedures exit for the local control of the malignancy: 1. Limb salvage with biological with/or endoprosthetic reconstruction; and, 2. amputation with restoration of the function with exoprosthesis or endo-exoprosthesis. Currently, limb salvage procedures are performed in up to 95% of cases. In contrast, amputation is performed when the disease has reached an advanced stage or limb salvage has failed. Both of the surgical options have their risks and possible complications. According to the literature, there should be no significant difference between limb salvage and amputation with respect to long-term overall survival, overall quality of life, psycho-socio-economic outcomes, or patient satisfaction. An important advantage of limb salvage is greater everyday functionality. With the expanded indication of limb salvage and great survival rates, the cases of late complications in patients expecting to maintain their own leg continues to increase. In some cases, it requires multiple interventions, ranging from minor up to the most complex revisions, to maintain the functionality of the extremity. Despite the great costs, personal effort, and the possible complications, limb salvage could be a suitable method to achieve functionally beneficial outcomes and patient satisfaction in bone sarcomas of the lower extremities over the long-term even in cases involving complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extremity sarcoma surgery entails significant costs for patients, governments and insurers. Multiple studies have described individual costs, however, the overall impact of cost on the quality of surgical care remains unclear. OBJECTIVES A narrative review with a systematic approach was undertaken to compare the impact of cost on the quality of extremity sarcoma care across low-middle-income and high-income countries. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, PsycInfo, DARE, NHS-EED, HTA. METHODS A systematic search was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Inclusion criteria were: discussion of costs and the surgical management of primary extremity sarcoma. There were no restrictions on study design, publication type, date, geographic location or publication status. A data extraction table was used to identify study location, type and findings. RESULTS 1012 studies were retrieved and 44 met the inclusion criteria. Four additional studies were identified from the reference lists of included articles. 27 studies were published in high-income countries (HIC) including all four full health economic analyses and 20 studies were published in low-middle income countries (LMC). Within LMC, cost impeded access to diagnosis, resection and options for reconstruction. In HIC, cost varied with choice of management, particularly during the long-term postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS Within LMC, cost impaired the provision of quality, curative care for patients with extremity sarcoma. Within HIC, while costs varied with chosen management, they were not prohibitive to the provision of quality care. Further research is required, specific to both socioeconomic contexts, to further describe the long-term cost-utility of different methods for the surgical management of extremity sarcoma.

Abstract
Background WeChat is the main social platform in China, characterized by its versatility and ease of communication. This study aimed to explore the effect of a WeChat-platform-based education and care (WBEC) program on relieving anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in parents of pediatric and adolescent patients with osteosarcoma. Methods In total, 48 patients and 86 parents were enrolled in this randomized, controlled study and then assigned to the WBEC program (24 patients and 45 parents) and the usual education and care (UEC) program (22 patients and 41 parents) for 6 months as a 1:1 ratio. Results Parents in the WBEC group had lower Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety (HADS-A) scores at M3 (7.8 ± 2.2 vs. 9.1 ± 2.5; p = 0.010) and M6 (7.7 ± 2.5 vs. 8.9 ± 2.4; p = 0.027) when compared to the UEC group, while anxiety rate was only decreased at M3 (43.2% vs. 63.4%; p = 0.049) in the WBEC group. Meanwhile, parental HADS for depression (HADS-D) scores were reduced at M3 (7.0 ± 2.0 vs. 8.0 ± 2.1; p = 0.047) and M6 (7.1 ± 1.9 vs. 8.0 ± 2.4; p = 0.045) in the WBEC group when compared with the UEC group; while depression rate remained the same. Parental Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) scores were slightly reduced among the WBEC group at M6 when compared with the UEC group [12.0 (interquartile range (IQR): 10.0–20.8] vs. 15.0 (IQR: 9.5–25.0; p = 0.077)], but not statistically significant. Conclusion WeChat-platform-based education and care is considered a feasible intervention to reduce anxiety and depression in parents of pediatric and adolescent patients with osteosarcoma, while also providing mild relief from PTSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extremity sarcoma causes impairments to functionality and quality of life. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) assess patient perspectives relating to domains of health and quality of life. METHODS To describe PROMs utilised in extremity sarcoma, the available literature was screened for studies that utilised PROMs to evaluate outcomes in extremity sarcoma following surgery. RESULTS Seventy articles met eligibility criteria; six PROMs were identified. The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score, The Short-Form 36, The EORTC QLQ-C30, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire, the Reintegration to Normal Living index and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. Most sarcoma patients score well in these tools, with bone sarcoma, and extent of resection being predictors of poor outcomes. CONCLUSION TESS is the only sarcoma-specific PROM, and though a valid assessment of functionality, it has difficulty differentiating patients with minor functional impairments. The absence of a disease-specific measure of health is concerning, as generic tools do not account for the unique experiences sarcoma patients face and may impair their accuracy in analysing intervention effectiveness.

Abstract
Limb salvage surgery refers to orthopaedic procedures designed to resect tumors and reconstruct limbs. Improvements in managing malignant bone lesions have led to a dramatic shift in limb salvage procedures. Orthopaedic surgeons now employ four main reconstructive procedures: endoprosthesis, autograft, bulk allograft, and allograft prosthetic composite. While each approach has its advantages, each technique is associated with complications. Furthermore, knowledge of procedure specific imaging findings can lead to earlier complication diagnosis and improved clinical outcomes. The aim of this article is to review leading reconstructive options available for limb salvage surgery and present a case series illustrating the associated complications.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor of musculoskeletal stromal cells. Osteosarcoma clinical behavior depends mostly on the histologic grade, the site of primary tumor, the response to chemotherapy, and the presence of pulmonary metastases. The aim of this study was to knockout SHOX CNE9/10 in U2OS osteosarcoma cells and to analyze the effects on cell growth and apoptosis. Material/Methods U2OS cells with CNE9 knockout and U2OS cells with CNE10 knockout were established via the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Sanger sequencing was used to detect the success of the knockdown experiment. Western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the expression levels of short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) after knockdown of CNE9 and CNE10. The cell viability and apoptotic rate were detected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 method and by flow cytometry. Results The Sanger sequencing results showed that the knockdown experiment was successful. The levels of SHOX mRNA and protein were significantly reduced after knocking down CNE9 and CNE10. Knockdown of CNE9 and CNE10 significantly increased the growth and inhibited the apoptosis of U2OS osteosarcoma cells. CNE9/CNE10 knockdown U2OS cells were successfully constructed. Conclusions Knockdown of CNE9 and CNE10 promoted U2OS cell growth and inhibited apoptosis by decreasing SHOX expression. This CNE9/CNE10 knockout U2OS cell model could provide a bridge for the research on SHOX and CNEs in osteosarcoma.
