Giant Cell Tumor Case Study

Decent Essays
Giant cell tumor are typically diagnosed in the third or fourth decades of life, and most patients have normal life expectancy. In this group of relatively young patients, the burden of revision TKA is almost inevitably rising[09]. Surgery and prosthesis implantation are the primary treatment approach for giant cell tumor around the knee. For maximizing functionality of the knee joint, commonly surgical approach implemented through the patella bone, comprising the whole knee capsule, patellar and quadriceps tendon, followed by prosthesis implantation and cement fixation[40064]. The reconstruction aims to minimize soft tissue injury and avoid post-prosthetic operational complications. In our case of revision TKA, no cement fixation was used

    Navy Veterans at High Risk for Mesothelioma Cancer By Katie Kelley Jun 22, 2009 Between the early 1930s through the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of men and women served on U.S. Navy vessels, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Many, if not all of these vessels were contaminated with asbestos. Navy used a staggering number of asbestos-tainted products in all of its vessels, leading to high rates of asbestos exposure for the men and women serving on the contaminated ships.

    Glioblastoma Multiforme Glioblastoma Multiforme, or GBM, is the most aggressive and most common primary brain tumor, but it isn’t quite that simple. GBM has quite a complex background and can start in many different ways, so that’s why I feel I should start from the very beginning of GBM so that you can fully understand what it is all about. Let me start by saying that GBM is the highest grade of glioma brain tumors, so it only makes sense for me to tell where GBM and glioma tumors come from. A glioma is a type of brain tumor that grows from glial cells, cells that support nerve cells with energy and nutrients and help maintain the blood-brain barrier. There are various types of glial cells, each with a different function.…

There is conflicting evidence regarding the risk factors for weight change after TKA or its influence on outcomes.

Study Design & Methods: We reviewed prospectively collected registry data of all 560 patients (1120 knees) undergoing…
