In soft tissue reconstruction of megaprostheses, the reattachment of soft tissue and joint capsules is essential. Sixty-nine megaprostheses were implanted and a trevira tube was applied to support reconstruction of the capsule and soft tissue. In cases of proximal femur replacement (33 patients), total femur replacement (five patients), and proximal humerus replacement (16 patients), the trevira tube allowed for reconstruction of the capsule and refixation of the muscles and helped to minimize dislocation. In cases of proximal tibia replacement (seven patients), arthrodesis of the knee (three patients), total knee replacement (two patients), and distal femur replacement (three patients), the trevira tube allowed for attachment of muscle flaps and extensor apparatus. Dislocation was observed in two of 54 patients who had proximal femur replacements. No dislocation was observed in patients with a total femur endoprosthesis or a proximal humerus endoprosthesis. The trevira tube also was used to attach the gastrocnemius muscle in patients with a proximal tibia endoprosthesis and to reattach the rotator cuff in patients with a proximal humerus prosthesis. There was no significant increase in the rate of infection. The histopathologic findings in six patients showed tissue ingrowth into the tube. |
