Introduction
Management of patients with musculoskeletal neoplasms has always been one of the most challenging areas in oncology. Prior to 1970, almost every patient with a primary malignant tumour of musculoskeletal system would have any surgical treatment. They would not have adjuvant chemotherapy or irradiation and surgical treatment was almost an amputation with a five-year survival rate of 20%. For benign lesions such as Giant Cell Tumours, the treatment was curettage with 40-60% recurrence rate. Patients with painful metastatic lesions were managed palliatively until they were mercifully relived by death.
Prior Art Technique and Practice
The conventional treatment for bone tumours over the years has been amputation, which is surgical removal of the affected part of the body. Amputation led to severe disability and psychological problems. The patient was made to lose not only part of the physical human body, but also a part of the personality of the patient. By the advent of limb salvage, the technique of removing the tumour only and saving the limb of the patient was developed. The aim of limb salvage in bone tumour management is to eradicate the disease, retain the integrity of the skeletal system and preserve the limb with useful functions using metallic prosthesis.
The early methods of reconstruction after limb salvage used the patient's own bone from another part of the body, but were associated with severe disability due to the lack of knee motion.

The technique of endo-prosthetic replacement revolutionized limb salvage by providing a method of reconstruction that provides stability and mobility. The endoprostheses that is used after excision of bone tumours around the Elbow Joint differs from other joint replacement prosthesis because of the amount of mobility required at the site for good function. The prosthesis is fabricated according to the anatomical dimensions of the patient and is therefore termed as the Custom Prosthesis.
The custom prosthesis was designed by us to meet the anatomical and functional demands after excision of bone tumours. Different types of Custom Prosthesis have been developed by us to replace bone defects after limb salvage surgery for bone tumours of the elbow, distal radius, distal femur (Thigh bone) and proximal tibia (Leg bone).
Our Patent No. 198872, which has already been awarded, is a Proximal Tibial Prosthesis with a Pivotal Hinge Mechanism. Our Patent No. 198869, which has already been awarded, is a Proximal Tibial Prosthesis with Trust Bearing Pad Mechanism.
