Successful joint preservation of distal radius osteosarcoma by en bloc tumor excision and reconstruction using a tumor bearing frozen autograft: a case report

摘要

BackgroundThe wrist joint is an extremely rare site for osteosarcoma. Joint structure preservation to maintain good limb function is well described in case of knee osteosarcoma, whereas it is not described in case of wrist joint osteosarcoma. In this report, we present the first case of joint preservation surgery to treat distal radius osteosarcoma using a tumor bearing autograft treated with liquid nitrogen.
