| Abstract | Improvements in imaging and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors have increased the variety of options for reconstruction following joint-sparing diaphyseal resection. The purpose of this case series was to show that reconstruction of malignant tumors of the radial shaft with an intercalary prosthesis may be an option for patients with segmental bone loss. Three consecutive patients underwent wide resection of the radial diaphysis followed by reconstruction with a custom intercalary prosthesis. A custom intercalary prosthesis with lap joint design was used in all 3 cases. Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 9-25 months). All patients were weight bearing as tolerated 1 week postoperatively. At the most recent follow-up, patients' mean elbow flexion and extension arc was 137° (range, 130°-140°). At the forearm, mean supination was 60° (range, 30°-90°) and mean pronation was 70° (range, 60°-90°). At the wrist, mean palmar flexion was 80° (range, 70°-90°) and mean dorsiflexion was 80° (range, 70°-90°). All patients reported minimal to no pain and no significant functional limitations. Mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 26/30 (87%). Reconstruction with an intercalary prosthesis is a viable option for patients with metastatic disease of the radial shaft. All patients had satisfactory results and early return to function; none required return to the operating room. Possible advantages of reconstruction with an intercalary prosthesis compared with reconstruction with a bone graft or polymethylmethacrylate osteosynthesis include early return to function and minimal weight-bearing restrictions postoperatively.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
