Patient-Specific Computational Walking Models in Improving Surgical and Rehabilitation Treatment in Patients With Pelvic Sarcomas

CPRIT: Optimizing Surgical and Rehabilitation Treatment of Pelvic Sarcomas Using Computational Models

Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

130 participants

Start Date

Jun 20, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Pelvic Sarcoma

Summary

This trial studies the development of patient-specific computational walking models to improve the surgical planning and rehabilitation treatment of patients with pelvic sarcomas. Every pelvis and pelvic sarcoma are different, and the orthopedic oncologist faces significant challenges when removing a tumor from the complex anatomy of the pelvis. These challenges make it difficult to achieve excellent oncological and functional outcomes together. Computational walking models may be used to predict the best combination of surgical methods and how to implement them to maximize each patient's post-surgery walking function.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses computer modeling of an individual patient's walking mechanics to improve surgical planning and rehabilitation for people with pelvic sarcoma (a rare cancer in the pelvic bone) who need part of their pelvis surgically removed. The goal is to better predict and optimize physical recovery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have received or are scheduled to receive a partial pelvic removal surgery (internal hemipelvectomy) at MD Anderson Cancer Center **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You had a complete leg amputation (external hemipelvectomy) - You have had a prior significant hip injury or surgery (for prospective participants) - You have a pacemaker, hearing aid, aneurysm clip, or certain metal implants that are incompatible with MRI - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
