Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia is an osteomalacic syndrome caused by a mesenchymal origin’s tumor. The diagnostic procedure takes time and extensive investigations because of the characteristics of these tumors usually small dimensioned, slowly growing, non-invasive and therefore hard to locate. The differential diagnosis is determined by a bone biopsy. Tumor’s surgical removal is the treatment of choice that leads up to a complete regression of the oncogenic malacic syndrome. In the clinical course of these patients we can often see multiple episodes of pathological fractures, peri-prosthesis fractures or prosthesis mobilizations, due to the malacic picture: surgical procedures are often widely demolitive and requires mega-prosthetic implant. The rehabilitative procedure used to take care of these patients, is described in the following case report and based on the collaboration between surgical and rehabilitative teams. Rehabili - tative pathway after hip mega-prosthesis does not find references in medical literature: the outcomes analyzed in this case report demonstrate the efficacy of the rehabilitative procedure applied.
