Is osteonecrosis requiring total joint arthroplasty a rare sequel in children and young adults treated for solid tumors?
Severe ON requiring TJA is a rare sequel in children and young adults treated for solid tumors. It was observed most commonly in patients treated for renal, breast, or testicular cancer.
Under the conditions of this study, SAPWD did not differentiate patients who did or did not develop AF after noncardiac thoracic surgery, and therefore its measurement cannot be recommended for the routine evaluation of these patients. Older age continues to be a risk factor for AF after thoracic surgery.
