Abstract

Background

Limb preservation surgery for extremity sarcomas offers the promise of improved function and cosmesis over amputation. Application of limb salvage surgery for pediatric patients with expandable metallic endoprostheses is gaining acceptance. The few studies reporting these devices have focused on functional outcomes; one has addressed quality of life.

Questions/purposes

We asked the following questions: (1) how happy are these patients; (2) how do these patients perceive their bodies; (3) do these children have difficulty with social interactions; and (4) how satisfied are patients and their parents with their outcomes?

Methods

We retrospectively identified and contacted 26 living patients who underwent limb salvage with an expandable device. The Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument was administered to 15 of the 26 families. Attention was paid to the happiness domain of the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument and specific answers within this domain were reported.

Results

Children who received limb salvage with an expandable endoprosthesis showed high emotional satisfaction with their outcome. Overall patients reported excellent perceptions of body image and physical attractiveness. Most patients reported frequent social interactions with their peers and no difficulty with making new friends.

Conclusions

Although this study has a limited number of subjects and no control group, the data correlate with previously scores and indicate a high degree of emotional acceptance after limb salvage with an expandable endoprosthesis in a pediatric population.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
