Results of thigh bone replacement after bone tumor surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks back at patients who had surgery to replace the top part of the thigh bone after a bone sarcoma. Researchers want to understand how well these surgeries worked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for a bone tumor at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute between 1991 and 2023.
- You were between 18 and 90 years old when you had that surgery.
- You were diagnosed with a type of bone cancer called a sarcoma.
- Your medical records and imaging (like X-rays or MRIs) from that time are available.
- Your surgery involved replacing the top part of your thigh bone (proximal femur).

This trial looks at whether a personalized home exercise plan helps people recover after surgery to rebuild a lower leg for a bone tumor. It may help by improving exercise adherence using support for at-home care during treatment.
This study tests whether a custom-made, 3D-printed artificial bone implant can safely replace large sections of bone removed during tumor surgery. It may help people with severe bone loss who cannot use standard implants.
This trial looks back at past patients to compare two types of surgery for broken or weak thigh bones caused by cancer that spread. It helps doctors understand which option—a metal nail or a joint replacement—works better.
This trial collects and follows information about people who had surgery to treat cancer that spread to their long bones (like the femur or humerus) to prevent or fix a broken bone. It may help doctors better understand outcomes after these surgeries and improve future care.
This study follows people with soft tissue sarcoma who are having surgery to remove the tumor. It aims to understand how their movement, daily life, and overall well-being are affected by the surgery and recovery.
This trial compares two types of surgery to fix the top part of the thigh bone that has been weakened or broken by cancer that spread from another part of the body. One surgery replaces the damaged area with an artificial joint, and the other repairs it using metal plates and screws.
