Extracorporeally frozen tumour-bearing bone combined with free vascularised fibula for the intercalary reconstruction of femoral defect after resection of bony sarcoma

摘要

Background: With the improved survival for patients with bone sarcomas, there is a trend to reconstruct intercalary femur defects using biologic techniques. This study examined whether the results of a frozen femur autograft with vascularised fibula are comparable to other reconstructive options in terms of the functional outcomes and the complications.
