大腿骨近位部転移性骨腫瘍による病的骨折に対する Huckstep hip system の使用経験

抄録

We performed reconstructive surgery using a Huckstep hip system for cases with pathologic fracture caused by metastatic bone tumor in the proximal femur. There were 3 cases altogether, all female. Their average age was 71.6 years. The primary lesions were breast cancer in 1 case and lung cancer in 2 cases. The surgery involved wide resection of the lesion in the proximal femur including the fractured part. The defective part was reconstructed by using the Huckstep hip system combined with a sleeve and spacers. In all 3 cases, walking practice was started from the next day after the surgery.
The follow-up period after the surgery was from 2 months to 1 year and 6 months. As a result, pain disappeared and the patienrs gained excellent walking ability. This is considered a useful surgery method for some cases.
