Massive osteolysis. A review of seven cases

Cannon SR

Seven cases of massive osteolysis are presented. The aetiology of this disease is as yet unknown; neither age nor sex seems to be a factor in its incidence, nor are standard bone grafts or radiotherapy successful methods of treatment. However, in this series, operation produced a satisfactory outcome for five patients at a mean follow-up of 17 years; in three of these patients a custom-built prosthesis was inserted, and in one a conventional bone graft was combined with intramedullary nailing.
