Reconstruction After Tumor Resection in the Growing Child.
Orthopedic Clinics of North America 2016 January
Limb preservation surgery has gained acceptance as a viable alternative to amputation for the treatment of extremity bone tumors in the growing child. There are several options for reconstructing the potential loss of a physis and the defect created by tumor excision. Metallic endoprosthesis, massive allograft, and allograft-prosthesis composites have been described in the skeletally immature population. With the development of expandable prostheses, even those far from skeletal maturity may be candidates for limb salvage. However, improvements in the literature are needed, including reporting surgical and functional outcomes in a rigorous manner, specific to age, anatomic location, and reconstruction.
