Abstract
|
|
|
|
Limb salvage should be considered after complete remission in young and physically active patients with osteosarcoma. Herein we described a patient who was treated with whole knee allograft reconstruction for the clinical implications of biological reconstruction which can avoid the problems with several consecutive sessions of mega-prosthesis revision. The mid-term result of this whole knee joint allograft reconstruction showed that it provided optimal joint congruence with durable joint stability, well balanced mechanical axis without joint space narrowing, and satisfactory gait pattern.
