Abstract
|
|
|
In 1996, a nine-year-old girl was treated with recycling autograft after wide resection of the distal femoral osteosarcoma. The leg lengthening and revision with growing tumor prosthesis were performed due to limb leg discrepancy and epiphyseal problem. However, deep infection developed after operation, and a temporary spacer with cement and
Ender nail was inserted. After infection was controlled completely, the final leg lengthening was performed with mono-external fixator for limb length discrepancy (10 cm). Lastly, Tumor prosthesis was reinserted to preserve the joint function.
