Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Growing prostheses are regarded as a valuable alternative to amputation and rotationplasty for the treatment of primary malignant bone and soft-tissue sarcomas in childhood. During the last three decades different devices have been introduced and technically improved from invasively to non-invasively extendable prostheses.
THE CURRENT SITUATION OF STUDIES: Despite the long period, only 21 peer-reviewed publications could be detected containing relevant numbers and results. In these papers, 590 patients with mean follow-up times of 81.1 months were reported who had been fitted with growing prostheses at the age of 12.6 years. Besides satisfactory functional results (78.3 out of 100 MSTS points) there was a high complication rate of 27.3% infections and 22.4% mechanical failure.
COMPLICATIONS: This increasing risk of infection over a long follow-up period, represents the biggest drawback of this method and, therefore, needs to be discussed extensively with the patients and parents when considering this procedure as an alternative to ablative surgery.
