Abstract

The best method of reconstruction after resection of malignant tumors of the bone diaphysis is unknown. We present a retrospective review of 19 patients who underwent limb salvage using a bone diaphyseal endoprosthetic replacement following excision of a bone tumor. Complications included aseptic loosening in six patients, progression diseases in two and one local recurrence. Six patients required revision surgery. rates of complication and revision were high, but diaphyseal replacement following resection of bone tumors enables early return to function, additional adjuvant treatment and provides an alternative to other surgical options, without apparent compromise of patient survival.
