Reconstruction with Extracorporeal Irradiation and Re-implantation following Intercalary Resection of Malignant Bone Tumor

ARUNANDHICHELVAN A .

Abstract


Limb salvage surgery is the standard of care in extremity bone sarcomas. There are various techniques that are being used for reconstruction. A biological reconstruction option is the technique of resection and reconstruction with extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation of the involved bone. We report a case of Non metastatic Ewings Sarcoma of the left middle third femur for which we performed limb           salvage surgery and reconstruction with extracorporeal             irradiation and reimplantation of the resected bone, following Neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
