Segmental Resection and Reimplantation with an Autoclaved Bone for Treatment of Malignant Disease

Abstract

Wide resection is an acceptable alternative to amputation for the management of primary sarcomas of the long bones or pelvis. The resected bone can be debrided of gross tumor tissue, autoclaved, and than replaced to reconstruct the limb anatomically. The procedure can be combined with prosthetic reconstruction of adjacent joints with sufficient strength to allow early unprotected weight-bearing. We had an experience of a large segmental defect in the shaft of the humerus after wide resection due to.a low grade malignant chondrosarcoma without extension to the surrounding soft tissues and this case had been managed by reimplantation after autoclaving the locally resected segment and autogenous iliac bone graft with a sound union and the favorable functional outcomes. So we are reporting this case with bibliographic reviews as a possible method of reconstruction for the management of the segmental defect which was produced by a local resection for a low grade malignancy.
