| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Reconstructing long bone defects following intercalary tumor resection presents an exciting challenge with a greater range of surgical solutions than more typical situations requiring arthroplasty. Segmental bone transport (distraction osteogenesis) is the least utilized option for intercalary reconstruction; however, it arguably provides patients with the most desirable result. Distraction osteogenesis can be used in the management of multiple skeletal conditions including deformity (congenital or acquired), or in the presence of bone defects (by trauma or planned surgical excision). Lack of broader adoption of transport is likely due to the highly technical demands and common complications of utilizing fine-wire fixators via the Ilizarov method. More recently, internal lengthening nails such as the PRECICE nail have been employed to facilitate distraction osteogenesis without the added complexity of external fixation. Areas Covered: This review will examine the literature on the indications, design, and safety of the PRECICE nail (NuVasive) for intercalary reconstruction after tumor resection. Expert Opinion: Bone transport using the PRECICE nail represents a viable alternative to Ilizarov distraction and has the benefit of avoiding the complications of an external fixator. For large defects, the PRECICE nail can be supplemented with a locking plate for additional stability and maintenance of limb length. |
