Avoiding Limb-Length Discrepancy with Reconstruction of a Massive Tibial Defect Using a Bone Allograft and a Minimally Invasive Lengthening System in a Pediatric Patient
Abstract : Case: A 7-year-old boy was found to have Ewing sarcoma of the left tibia. The sarcoma was resected, and the defect was reconstructed using a humeral head allograft and intramedullary limb-lengthening nail. Conclusions: Limb-salvage reconstruction in children can be complicated by the sacrifice of epiphyseal plates and limb-length discrepancies and thus requires techniques tailored to each case.
