title: Particular Characteristics of Medical Rehabilitation in Patients Operated for Osteoarticular Tumors according to the Campanacci Method.
abstract: The modern treatment of the osteoarticular tumors requires a multidisciplinary approach. Due to their proximity to major neural and vascular pathways, to the fact that they affect young people, as well as because they can permanently impair the functionality of the limb, the preoperative assessment of the patients must be performed in detail (physical, imaging, biochemical and histological examination) in order to prepare for the surgical procedure with a minimum impact on the quality of the life of the patients. In the last 5 years, in the Clinic of Orthopedics of the Universitary Emergency Hospital of Bucharest 7 patients, aged between 25 and 40 years, with giant cell tumor were operated, the sex ratio being F/M : 5/2. The surgical procedures were radical, followed by adjuvant treatment and supportive therapy. The decision to follow a certain treatment must be taken with the full consent of the patient, taking into account the requirements of his/her daily life. The surgical intervention must have the full support of the teams of kinesitherapists, psychologists/psychiatrists and social worker. In these situations, the social integration was faster and the arthrodesis, as a therapeutic stage, was more easily accepted.
