Prosthetic reconstruction following resection of lower extremity bone neoplasms : A systematic review and meta-analysis

© 2022 The Author(s)..

Prosthetic reconstructive procedures have become the mainstay in contemporary surgical treatment following resection of extremity bone neoplasms. Given that these patients are of young age most of the time, achievement of robust functional outcomes is of paramount importance. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of this procedure on the gait parameters of cancer patients compared to healthy individuals. The Medline, Scopus and Cochrane databases were systematically searched until January 2022 for eligible studies. Gait parameters measured by gait analysis after prosthetic reconstruction were the outcomes of interest. Eight cohort studies were included in our analysis. From these, seven studied prosthetic reconstruction of the knee (distal femur or proximal tibia) and only one exclusively studied prostetic reconstructions of the proximal femur. Compared to healthy individuals a significant decrease was evident in gait velocity (-0.16 m/sec, 95 %CI: -0.23 to -0.09, p-value < 0.001), in stride length (-6.07 %height, 95 %CI: -9,36 to -2.78, p-value < 0.001), in cadence (-3.96 stride/min, 95 %CI: -5.41 to -2.51, p-value < 0.001) and significant increase in cycle time (0.10 s, 95 %CI: 0.03 to 0.17, p-value = 0.005). Prosthetic reconstruction following lower limb tumor resection significantly affects the gait of patients. This knowledge can be utilized for further refinement of surgical techniques, rehabilitation strategies and follow-up programming.
