Limb salvage procedure for neoplasms about the knee by spherocentric total knee arthroplasty and autogenous autoclaved bone grafting.
Spherocentric total joint arthroplasty was performed for treatment of neoplasm in 15 patients. The average follow-up period was 30 months. In nine of the patients concomitant autoclaved autologous bone implants were also prepared from the resected specimens. The results were satisfactory in ten patients and unsatisfactory in five. One patient had an infection that required amputation. One patient with osteosarcoma had a recurrence at 20 months and was treated by amputation. Poor results were caused by stem failure in two patients and by component loosening in one patient. Total joint arthroplasty combined with autoclaved bone implantation is a useful limb salvage procedure for resected neoplasms about the knee.

Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis complicating abdominal stab wounds.
Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis may follow any process which initiates bacteremia and should be considered in a differential diagnosis of back pain occurring in the convalescent phase of septicemia. The two cases discussed here, following abdominal stab wounds, illustrate the principles of diagnosis and management of this problem. Diagnosis is based on gradual onset of low back pain with spinal tenderness and paravertebral muscle spasms, without neurologic symptoms. Serial X-rays are helpful, as are technetium phosphate or gallium bone scans. Appropriate antibiotic plus immobilization are recommended.
