“…Among the twelve studies meeting the inclusion criteria [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], nine were case reports [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Three were case series—one focused primarily on epidemiology [ 36 ], another on radiographic findings [ 42 ].…”

“…Different histological types of secondary sarcomas were found to arise from bone infarcts in the papers eligible for this review. These include malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), fibrosarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma, and osteosarcoma [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Multifocal lesions, or the asynchronous development of malignancy in more than one bone in a single patient, were also described [ 42 ].…”

“…The World Health Organization recently reclassified it as pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma. Immunohistological staining should be negative for S100 protein, cytokeratin, desmin, and muscle-specific actin [ 33 , 39 ]. Some authors suggest that such a high prevalence of MFH in association with AVN indicates that there might be a causal relation [ 33 , 39 ].…”

MFH is most prevalent in patients in the 6th decade of life and older and is twice as common in men as in women.…”

(1) Background: Avascular necrosis (AVN) may affect every part of the bone. Epiphyseal infarcts are likely to be treated early because most are symptomatic. However, meta- and diaphyseal infarcts are silent and are diagnosed incidentally. Sarcomas developing in the necrotic bone are extremely rare, but they have been reported in the literature. (2) Methods: We conducted a mapping review of recent evidence regarding these malignancies. Methods: A mapping review using a systematic search strategy was conducted to answer research questions. We limited our research to the last ten years (2012–2022). (3) Results: A total of 11 papers were identified, including 9 case reports and 3 case series. The pathomechanism of carcinogenesis in AVN was not investigated to date. Histologically, most tumors were malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The prognosis is relatively poor, especially for patients with metastases, but adjuvant chemotherapy may increase short- and long-term survival. (4) Conclusions: Since AVN-related malignancies are sporadic, no prospective studies have been conducted. The majority of evidence comes from small case series. More research is needed to identify the risk factors that would justify follow-up of patients after bone infarcts at higher risk of developing a malignancy.

“…The same complaints can also be found in the literature. Moreover, Helme and Gibson, Dawson et al, and Robin et al reported that lower extremity pain including hip, knee, and foot pain are very common 15 , 16 , 17 ) . In our study, we studied 258 older adults who reported musculoskeletal pain in their spinal column and lower extremities (n=212; 82.1%).…”

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to show the impact of chronic musculoskeletal pain of the spinal column and lower extremities on physical functioning, emotional status, and independency in older adults. [Subjects] In this cross-sectional study, 258 older adults (mean age, 71.98±5.86 years, 50.8% males, 49.2% females) living in their own residences were evaluated. [Methods] Pain intensity was analyzed using a visual analogue scale. Physical functioning was evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and a Six-Minute Walk Test. The Geriatric Depression Scale was used to determine emotional status. The independency in daily living of the participants was evaluated using the Lawton Brody IADL Scale. All participants were divided into two groups in accordance with the pain localization: the (1) spinal pain and (2) lower extremity pain groups. [Results] When the pain scores were compared, no significant differences between the two groups were found. The same results were found in terms of TUG scores. The spinal pain group had higher scores in terms of aerobic capacity than the lower extremity pain group. [Conclusion] The results indicate that chronic musculoskeletal pain in the lower extremities decreased aerobic capacity much more than spinal pain in older adults.
