Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At present, the salvage treatment has become the standard method for the treatment of limbs malignant bone tumor, and the purpose of the surgery is not only to improve the survival rate, but also to save the good limb function.
OBJECTIVE: To review several salvage treatments, such as artificial joint replacement and allograft bone graft for the treatment of limbs malignant bone tumor.
METHODS: The PubMed database from January 1992 to October 2012 and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database from January 1994 to December 2012 were searched by the first author for the articles on the treatment of malignant bone tumor with salvage treatment with the key words of “malignant bone tumor, salvage treatment, allograft bone graft, prosthesis and microwave” in English and Chinese. The repetitive articles and the Meta analysis were eliminated, and finally, a total of 31 articles were included for the review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ①For the malignant bone tumor on limbs, especially around the joint, the artificial joint replacement, allograft bone graft and microwave inactivation treatment were the main methods. ②The allograft bone graft has a high complication incidence, and the microwave inactivation has new progress. The new progress needs further research. ③Tumor segment devitalization and replantation and alcoholic devitalization and replantation are more applicable to the primary hospital.
