Extraperiosteal segmental excision for osteofibrous dysplasia of tibia with reconstruction by liquid nitrogen-treated recycled autograft

摘要

Background: Osteofibrous dysplasia usually progresses until ten years of age and occasionally regresses spontaneously after puberty. Patients with osteofibrous dysplasia usually require close observation. Surgery is an option considered only for extensive, deforming lesions and those with pathological fractures and rapid progression prior to puberty. If surgery is indicated, the traditional intra-lesional curettage or subperiosteal resection usually leads to high recurrence. Hence, extraperiosteal wide excision and various methods of reconstruction after resection have been advocated for this lesion. We reviewed the clinical results of patients managed with extraperiosteal segmental excision and reconstruction by liquid nitrogen-treated tumor-bearing autograft combined with allograft.
