Résumé

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful procedures in orthopedic surgery. The most frequent THA indications are osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, whereas symptomatic aseptic loosening is the most common indication to revision surgery. Chondrosarcoma (CS) is the most frequent bone sarcoma in adults, and proximal femur is the most prevalent location. Wide resection is the treatment of choice.We report 3 cases of unrecognized high-grade CS in the setting of primary or revision THA and reviewed the literature on this rare clinical presentation. A systematic literature review on CS in the setting of THA, published between 1980 and 2020, was performed on PubMed, Embase, Medline, Ovid SP, and Web of Science, using the guidelines set in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Mata-analyses (PRISMA). Case series: Three patients were referred to our sarcoma center after failure of THA due to unrecognized high-grade CS. All 3 had rapid fatal outcome. Literature review: Fifty-nine articles were identified, of which 8 were included in the study. They confirmed that primary or revision THA failure due to unrecognized CS is extremely rare, with only few cases reported in the literature. Before proceeding to primary or revision arthroplasty, diagnosis must be ascertained. Atypical presentation of a common pathology, such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, or aseptic loosening of an endoprosthesis, should raise suspicion for another cause to symptoms, and additional workup be performed. As our cases demonstrated, unrecognized or inadequately managed bone sarcoma may lead to poor or even fatal outcome.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful procedures in orthopedic surgery. The most frequent THA indications are osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, whereas symptomatic aseptic loosening is the most common indication to revision surgery. Chondrosarcoma (CS) is the most frequent bone sarcoma in adults, and proximal femur is the most prevalent location. Wide resection is the treatment of choice.We report 3 cases of unrecognized high-grade CS in the setting of primary or revision THA and reviewed the literature on this rare clinical presentation.
METHODS METHODS
A systematic literature review on CS in the setting of THA, published between 1980 and 2020, was performed on PubMed, Embase, Medline, Ovid SP, and Web of Science, using the guidelines set in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Mata-analyses (PRISMA).
RESULTS RESULTS
Case series: Three patients were referred to our sarcoma center after failure of THA due to unrecognized high-grade CS. All 3 had rapid fatal outcome. Literature review: Fifty-nine articles were identified, of which 8 were included in the study. They confirmed that primary or revision THA failure due to unrecognized CS is extremely rare, with only few cases reported in the literature.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Before proceeding to primary or revision arthroplasty, diagnosis must be ascertained. Atypical presentation of a common pathology, such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, or aseptic loosening of an endoprosthesis, should raise suspicion for another cause to symptoms, and additional workup be performed. As our cases demonstrated, unrecognized or inadequately managed bone sarcoma may lead to poor or even fatal outcome.
