Treatment of pathologic XXXX following postoperative radiation therapy: clinical study.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity174
BACKGROUND: Pathologic @entity174 are caused by diseases that lead to weakness of the bone structure. This process sometimes occurs owing to bony change after radiation therapy. Treatment of pathologic @entity174 may be difficult because of previous radiation therapy. METHODS: In this study, we analyzed clinical and radiographic data and progress of five @entity1 with mandibular pathological @entity174 who had received postoperative radiation therapy following @entity5 surgery. RESULT: @entity1 received an average radiation dose of 59.2 (SD, 7.2) Gy. Four of five @entity1 exhibited bone union regardless of whether open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) was performed. @entity1 have the potential to heal after postoperative radiation therapy. Treatment of a pathologic @entity174 following postoperative radiation therapy, such as traditional treatment for other types of @entity174 , may be performed using OR/IF or CR. OR/IF may be selected in cases of significant bone deviation, small remaining bone volume, or occlusive change. CONCLUSION: @entity1 have the potential to heal after postoperative radiation therapy.
