Abstract

Knee joint area is the most inclined in bone tumors development. Diagnostic of tumors is based on the comparing of clinical, visual examinations and morphological data. Surgical treatment of benignant tumors assumes resection of the involved bone region with subsequent replacement of defect by the transplant. Different materials are used for plastics. Choice of the optimal transplant material is one of the actual questions of bone pathology. The effectiveness of one or another adjuvant influence on the bed of removed tumor remains the subject of discussions. Endoprosthetics is a method of choice for the defects replacement after resection of bones, forming knee joint, involved in malignant tumors development. Nevertheless questions, concerning the selection of optimal construction and material for endoprosthetic manufacturing, are still far from the solution. The frequency of postoperative complications remains high, and the treatment of these complications represents the task, which is not less difficult that the previous treatment.
