Tumors around implants

V G Langkamer et al. J Arthroplasty. 1997 Oct.

Abstract

In 1989, A. G. Apley recommended cautious surveillance of malignant tumors that developed in association with orthopaedic implants. This retrospective review of the Bristol Bone Tumour Register between 1980 and 1992 reports on 240 malignant soft tissue sarcomas. Eighteen developed in the thigh region of patients more than 50 years old, and 4 of these developed in the soft tissues around a hip arthroplasty.
