Open AccessIntercalary allograft reconstruction following femoral tumour resection: mid- and long-term results and benefits of adding a vascularised fibula autograft
Bone healing in femoral reconstructions using intercalary allografts can be compromised in a tumour context. There is also a high revision rate for non-union, infection, and fractures in this context. The adva...

A novel and secure technique of stemmed acetabular cup implantation in complex hip reconstructions: a comparative study and technical note
The stemmed acetabular cup (SAC) can be considered in several complicated situations. This type of prosthesis uses the iliac isthmus, which is most often preserved, thus allowing solid anchorage. Its implantat...

Open Access99mTc-NTP 15-5 assessment of the early therapeutic response of chondrosarcoma to zoledronic acid in the Swarm rat orthotopic model
Since proteoglycans (PGs) appear as key partners in chondrosarcoma biology, PG-targeted imaging using the radiotracer 99mTc-N-(triethylammonium)-3-propyl-[15]ane-N5 (99mTc-NTP 15-5) developed by our group was pre...
