Proximal Tibia Osteoarticular Allografts in Tumor Limb Salvage Surgery

摘要

BackgroundResection of large tumors of the proximal tibia may be reconstructed with endoprostheses or allografts with fixation. Endoprosthetic replacement is associated with high failure rates and complications. Proximal tibia osteoarticular allografts after tumor resection allows restoration of bone stock and reconstruction of the extensor mechanism, but the long-term failure rates and complications are not known.
