Synopsis
The doctors discuss the unique considerations involved in treating the acetabulum, including its susceptibility to various axial loading, shear, and torsion forces. Dr. Levy prefers to use radiofrequency ablation combined with cement augmentation to enhance joint stability. He outlines the procedural steps and shares his preferred imaging methods. Additionally, he addresses potential complications, such as instability from inadequate cement delivery, cement leakage into the hip joint space, and avascular necrosis. Throughout the episode, the doctors emphasize the importance of collaboration with orthopedic oncologists and staying updated on current research in musculoskeletal interventional oncology.
