Abstract
Reconstruction of the distal third of the tibia due to resection of a malignant tumor has some hindering factors, such as a thin subcutaneous layer, neurovascular bundles that cross compartments, prolonged operative duration, specific orthopedic material, and a trained multidisciplinary team. Allografting with material from tissue banks is part of this orthopaedic arsenal. OBJECTIVE To describe the protocol used at Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia Jamil Haddad. METHODS Series of six cases subjected to resection with oncologic margins, allograft reconstruction, and use of a retrograde ankle nail as limb-salvage surgery. Three of the six patients were women, the lesions were on average 9.3 cm long, and the average operative duration was 3.25 hours. RESULTS The main short-term complication (≤ 30 days) was peroneal nerve palsy, while the main long-term complication (> 30 days) was surgical site infection (two cases). Consolidation of the two foci occurred in three patients, and two patients developed asymptomatic pseudoarthrosis of the proximal focus with consolidation of the distal focus. CONCLUSION Despite the complications, the proposed surgery gives patients the chance to preserve their limb in the face of immediate radical surgery. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

Abstract
Below-knee amputation is the treatment of choice for distal tibia malignancies, considering the specific anatomic features of the distal leg and ankle. However, advances in imaging modalities and adjuvant therapies and improved surgical techniques have made limb salvage surgery increasingly possible. The distal tibia is an uncommon location for malignant bone tumors, and there is limited information about limb salvage and reconstruction. Currently, 3-dimensional printed implants may successfully address reconstruction challenges after tumor resection. We present a patient with high-grade osteosarcoma of the distal tibia who underwent limb salvage and distal tibia and ankle joint replacement with a 3-dimensional printed endoprosthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reconstruction after en bloc resection of the distal tibia has remained an unsettled issue despite many attempts with bone grafts or prostheses in the past. Failures of the previous methods have been attributed to inadequate mechanical strength, poor articular stability, failed osseointegration, and poor soft tissue coverage. To overcome these shortcomings, we designed and applied a 3D-printed megaprosthesis with ankle arthrodesis. METHODS A total of 13 patients underwent resection of a distal tibial tumor and reconstruction with a 3D-printed distal tibial megaprosthesis between January 2017 and November 2020. Mean age was 14.9±6.5 years. Diagnoses included 11 cases of osteosarcoma and 1 case each of low-grade phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma. Baseline characteristics, operative data, complication profiles, and oncologic, and functional outcomes were reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS All 13 cases attained a wide or marginal resection. During a mean follow-up of 26.8±10.6 months, 1 patient experienced local recurrence and distant metastasis, whereas 3 other patients only developed distant metastasis. Periprosthetic infection subsequent to paronychia occurred in 1 patient 24 months after the operation. No other complications were observed. By the last follow-up, the mean MSTS-93 score was 28.0±1.5. CONCLUSION In this relatively small cohort with short-term follow-up, reconstruction with the 3D-printed megaprosthesis with ankle arthrodesis was found to be a safe and efficacious method after resection of a distal tibial malignancy.

Abstract
Introduction Reconstruction of massive tibial defects in ankle joint-preserving surgery remains challenging though biological and prosthetic methods have been attempted. We surgically treated a patient with only 18-mm distal tibia remaining and reconstructed with a unique three-dimensional printed prosthesis. Case Presentation, Intervention, and Outcomes A 36-year-old male presented to our clinic with complaints of gradually swelling left calf and palpable painless mass for five months. Imageological exam indicated a lesion spanning the entire length of the tibia and surrounding the vascular plexus. Diagnosis of chondrosarcoma was confirmed by biopsy. Amputation was initially recommended but rejected, thus a novel one-step limb-salvage procedure was performed. After en-bloc tumor resection and blood supply rebuilding, a customized, three-dimensional printed prosthesis with porous interface was fixed that connected the tumor knee prosthesis and distal ultra-small bone segment. During a 16-month follow-up, no soft tissue or prosthesis-related complications occurred. The patient was alive with no sign of recurrence or metastasis. Walking ability and full tibiotalar range of motion were preserved. Conclusions Custom-made, three-dimensional printed prosthesis manifested excellent mechanical stability during the follow-up in this joint-preserving surgery. Further investigation of the durability and rate of long-term complications is needed to introduce to routine clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Limb-salvage following resection of bone sarcomas of the foot are challenging due to the complicated anatomy, adjacent neurovascular structures and few durable reconstruction options. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 50 patients with primary malignant bone sarcoma of the foot who underwent surgery including chondrosarcoma (n = 23), Ewing's sarcoma (n = 14) and osteosarcoma (n = 13). RESULTS Median follow-up was 68 months. The primary sites were metatarsal (n = 18), phalanges (n = 15), calcaneus (n = 13) and others (n = 4). The 5-year disease-specific survivals were 100, 83 and 83% in chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma and osteosarcoma, respectively. Below knee amputation, ray/toe amputation, excision and curettage were performed in 21, 24, 2 and 3 patients, respectively. Below knee amputation was performed in 94% of mid/hindfoot tumours. Surgical margins were wide/radical, marginal and intralesional margin in 42, 5 and 3 patients. Three patients (6%) developed local recurrence, whereas, local recurrence was not observed in patients with wide/radical margins. Postoperative complications occurred in 3 patients (6%; surgical site infection n = 2 and delayed wound healing n = 1). Mean MSTS functional score was 26 points (range, 19-30). CONCLUSIONS Good local control was achieved with acceptable functional outcomes and post-operative complications; almost all mid/hindfoot tumours required below knee amputation achieving wide/radical margins without local recurrence.

Is double-strut fibula ankle arthrodesis a reliable reconstruction for bone defect after distal tibia tumor resection?-a finite element study based on promising clinical outcomes. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:230.

Abstract
Background There are different surgical methods for primary malignant tumor located at distal tibia. Previous studies have reported that double-strut fibula ankle arthrodesis is an alternative option. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effect of double-strut fibula ankle arthrodesis by finite element analysis (FEA). Methods Computer-aided design software was used to establish three-dimension models. Three different models were constructed: normal tibia-fibula-talus complex (model A), double-strut fibula ankle arthrodesis (model B), and reconstruction by ipsilateral fibula (model C). We used FEA to evaluate and compare the biomechanical characteristics of these constructs. Simulated load of 600 N was applied to the tibial plateau to simulate balanced single-foot standing. Output results representing the model von Mises stress and displacement of the components were analyzed. Results Construct stiffness was increased when the internal plate fixation was used. For axial load, model B (1460.5 N/mm) was stiffer than the construct of model A (524.8 N/mm), and model C (636.6 N/mm), indicating model B was more stable. Maximum stress on the fibular graft occurred on the proximal end. The von Mises stress and stress distribution of fibular graft in model B (71.4 MPa) and model C (67.8 MPa) were similar. In model B, the ipsilateral fibula in model B has a higher value of stress (16.1 MPa) than that in model A (0.5 MPa), indicating the ipsilateral fibula shared load after fusion with talus. Conclusions Our computational findings suggest that double-strut fibula ankle arthrodesis is an acceptable construct for distal tibia defect and the ipsilateral fibula shares load after fusion with talus.

Reconstructive Challenges of Distal Tibia Bone Tumors: Extracorporeally Irradiated Autograft Combined with a Nonvascularized Autograft Fibula for Superior Reconstruction and Functional Outcomes When Compared to Ipsilateral Pedicled Fibula Transfer Alone. Sarcoma 2021; 2021:6624550. [PMID: 33814963 PMCID: PMC8012118 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6624550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Traditionally, centralization of the fibula with fusion across the tibiotalar joint has been used to reconstruct distal tibial defects. Although effective, it requires long periods of protected weight-bearing. The fibula or the fixation often fails before fibular hypertrophy necessitating multiple additional surgeries. A method of using ECRT with the available ipsilateral fibula (nonvascularized) to reconstruct the distal tibia defect with the aim of early return to weight-bearing was evolved. This paper documents our early experience. Patients and Methods. Four patients; with the diagnosis of osteosarcoma in 3 patients and recurrent giant cell tumor of the bone in 1 patient, underwent resection of the distal tibia for tumors between 2017 and 2019. Extracorporeally irradiated (50 Gy) distal tibia along with ipsilateral nonvascularized fibula was used to bridge the defect and fuse the tibiotalar joint. A plate was used to rigidly hold the construct. The final outcome was compared to the historical control group that underwent only pedicled ipsilateral fibula transposition and ankle arthrodesis without recycled autograft or allograft between 2009 and 2017. Oncological reconstruction and functional outcomes were compared for each group. Patient reported outcomes on the acceptability of ankle fusion; cosmesis and function were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results The mean resection length in the study group (4 patients) was 7.75 cm (7 to 8.5 cm). As compared to the historical cohort of 7 patients, the study population showed statistically superior results in all reconstruction, functional, and patient-reported outcomes except time to proximal junction union (p=0.068). There were no reconstruction failures, infection, or nonunions in the study group, whereas the control comparative group had 2 proximal junction nonunions and a mean time to fibular hypertrophy of 143 weeks (82 to 430 weeks) with fibula centralization. Earlier weight-bearing was allowed (mean 26.75 weeks; median 27 weeks) compared to (mean 80.75 weeks; median 80 weeks) in the control group. Conclusion We think that ECRT with ipsilateral vascularized fibula is a promising method of reconstructing the distal tibia. The recycled autograft tibia added strength to the distal tibia construct in our study and aided the anatomical reconstruction of the distal tibia. The patient-reported outcomes for cosmesis and acceptability add to the benefits of performing this procedure. Consistent early union across the proximal junction and earlier weight-bearing were clear advantages of this method.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to report the results of three forms of reconstruction for patients with a ditsl tibial bone tumour: an intercalary resection and reconstruction, an osteoarticular reconstruction, and arthrodesis of the ankle. METHODS A total of 73 patients with a median age of 19 years (interquartile range (IQR) 14 to 36) were included in this retrospective, multicentre study. RESULTS Reconstructions included intercalary resection in 17 patients, osteoarticular reconstruction in 11, and ankle arthrodesis in 45. The median follow-up was 77 months (IQR 35 to 130). Local recurrence occurred in eight patients after a median of 14 months (IQR 9 to 36), without a correlation with adequacy of margins or reconstructive technique. Major complications included fracture of the graft in ten patients, nonunion of the proximal osteotomy in seven, and infection in five. In the osteoarticular group, three of 11 patients developed radiological evidence of severe osteoarthritis, but only one was symptomatic and required conversion to ankle arthrodesis. Functional evaluation showed higher values of the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores in the intercalary group compared with the others. CONCLUSION Preservation of the epiphysis in patients with a distal tibial bone tumour is a safe and effective form of limb-sparing treatment. It requires rigorous preoperative planning after accurate analysis of the imaging. When joint-sparing resection is not indicated, ankle arthrodesis, either isolated tibiotalar or combined tibiotalar and subtalar arthrodesis, should be preferred over osteoarticular reconstruction.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of vascularized fibula reconstruction in treatment of distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors. Methods Between March 2012 and January 2018, 11 patients with distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors were treated with vascularized fibula reconstruction. There were 7 males and 4 females with an average age of 20 years (range, 16-39 years). There were 8 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 cases of invasive giant cell tumor of bone, and 1 case of hemangioendothelioma. The tumors were rated as benign stage 3 in 2 cases and malignant stageⅠA in 1 case, stageⅡA in 4 cases, and stage ⅡB in 4 cases according to the Enneking staging. The disease duration was 1-6 months (mean, 2.7 months). The limb function was evaluated by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, and the distal and proximal union of the transplanted fibula and the diameter of the fibula were examined by imaging. Results All incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 16-85 months (mean, 41 months). No tumor recurrence or metastasis occurred during the follow-up. The proximal and distal grafts in the 10 cases showed osseous healing, and the healing time was 7-12 months (mean, 10.1 months) at proximal end and 7-12 months (mean, 9.3 months) at distal end. In 1 case, the proximal end did not heal at 19 months, while the distal end healed at 13 months; proximal bone grafting was performed, and the proximal end healed. Among the 4 patients with distal screw fixation, 2 had peri-internal fixation fractures after graft healing, but no skin necrosis or infection occurred. All the 7 patients with distal steel plate fixation had no peri-internal fixation fracture, but 1 patient developed anterior tibial skin necrosis. At 12 months after operation, the diameter of fibula increased 1-5 mm (mean, 2.4 mm) by compared with that before operation. The MSTS score was 17-27 (mean, 22.8). Conclusion Reconstruction of ankle joint with vascularized fibula can achieve satisfactory functional results, which is one of the feasible and worthy methods for the distal tibial malignant and invasive tumors.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the clinical effect of intercalary allograft transplantation and reconstruction in the treatment of diaphyseal defect after resection of lower extremity malignant bone tumor. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients diagnosed with malignant lower-limb bone tumors and having undergone segmental allograft reconstruction with a mean follow-up of 49.8 (26–78) months were included. Segmental allografts of average 17-cm length preserved by deep-freezing were used and fixed using intramedullary nail, double plate, and intramedullary nail and plate combination in 2, 5, and 10 patients, respectively. Host–donor junctions were perfectly and roughly matched in 5 and 12 patients, respectively. Allograft union, local recurrence, and complications were assessed using clinical and radiological tests. Allograft union was evaluated using the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) scoring system. The functional prognosis was evaluated using the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) scoring system. Results Intercalary allograft reconstruction of femoral shaft, tibial shaft, and distal tibia with ankle arthrodesis was performed in eight, four, and five patients, respectively. Two patients had local recurrence and underwent amputation; one died of metastasis. Host–donor junctions in two patients showed nonunion; 12 patients achieved bone union. The average union time was 12.1 months. No allograft fracture or infection occurred. Union rates were 100% and 88.2% at metaphyseal and diaphyseal junctions, respectively. Healing time differed significantly between the precisely and roughly matched groups (p<0.01). The incidence of nonunion was higher after intramedullary nailing than after the other two methods (p<0.05). The mean MSTS score was 24.2 (14–29) at the end of follow-up. Conclusion Intercalary allograft transplantation is an effective strategy for diaphyseal defect following post-tumor resection in the lower extremity. Good bone healing after allograft reconstruction is achieved with stable internal fixation and perfectly matched host–donor interfaces.

Abstract
AIMS The use of frozen tumour-bearing autograft combined with a vascularized fibular graft (VFG) represents a new technique for biological reconstruction of massive bone defect. We have compared the clinical outcomes between this technique and Capanna reconstruction. METHODS From June 2011 to January 2016 a retrospective study was carried out of patients with primary osteosarcoma of lower limbs who underwent combined biological intercalary reconstruction. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the reconstructive technique: frozen tumour-bearing autograft combined with concurrent VFG (Group 1) and the Capanna method (Group 2). Demographics, operating procedures, oncological outcomes, graft union, limb function, and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS A total of 23 patients were identified for analysis: eight in Group 1 and 15 in Group 2. There was no difference in the demographics (age, sex, and affected site) and operating procedures (resection length, duration of surgery, and blood loss) between the two groups. No significant difference was found in local recurrence in Group 1 versus Group 2 (p = 0.585). Mean union time for the frozen autograft-host junction was 8.4 months (7.0 to 11.0), significantly earlier than for the allograft-host junction in Group 2 (mean 14.1 months (10.0 to 28.0); p < 0.001). Mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores in groups 1 and 2 were 90.3% (SD 7.4%) and 88.0% (SD 9.0%), respectively, with no significant statistical difference (p = 0.535). In terms of complications, infection (n = 1, 6.7%) and delayed union (n = 2, 13.3%) occurred in Group 2, but no such complications were observed in Group 1. CONCLUSION Frozen tumour-bearing autograft in combination with VFG can be used as an alternative to the Capanna reconstruction in properly selected patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Advances in chemotherapy, sophisticated imaging, and surgical techniques over the last few decades have allowed limb-salvage surgery (LSS) to become the preferred surgical treatment for bone sarcomas of the extremities. The goal of LLS is to maximize limb functionality to allow for the maintenance of quality of life without compromising overall survival and tumor local recurrence rates. Today, limb-salvage procedures are performed on 80-95% of patients with extremity osteosarcoma, and the 5-year survival rate in extremity osteosarcoma patients is now 60-75%.This chapter will focus on LSS for extremity osteosarcoma. Common types of surgical reconstruction techniques including endoprostheses, intercalary or osteoarticular allografts, vascularized fibular autografts, and allograft prosthetic composites (APC), and their complications such as infection, local recurrence, graft fracture, implant failure, and nonunion will be discussed in detail. Anatomic locations of lesions discussed include the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal tibia, distal tibia, proximal humerus, distal humerus, and forearm bones.

Abstract
Aims We analyzed the long-term outcomes of patients observed over ten years after resection en bloc and reconstruction with extracorporeal irradiated autografts Patients and Methods This retrospective study included 27 patients who underwent resection en bloc and reimplantation of an extracorporeal irradiated autograft. The mean patient age and follow-up period were 31.7 years (9 to 59) and 16.6 years (10.3 to 24.3), respectively. The most common diagnosis was osteosarcoma (n = 10), followed by chondrosarcoma (n = 6). The femur (n = 13) was the most frequently involved site, followed by the tibia (n = 7). There were inlay grafts in five patients, intercalary grafts in 15 patients, and osteoarticular grafts in seven patients. Functional outcome was evaluated with the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system. Results There were no recurrences in the irradiated autograft and the autograft survived in 24 patients (88.9%). Major complications included nonunion (n = 9), subchondral bone collapse (n = 4), and deep infection (n = 4). Although 34 revision procedures were performed, 25 (73.5%) and four (11.8%) of these were performed less than five years and ten years after the initial surgery, respectively. The mean MSTS score at the last follow-up was 84.3% (33% to 100%). Conclusion Considering long-term outcomes, extracorporeal irradiated autograft is an effective method of reconstruction for malignant musculoskeletal tumours Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1151–1159

Abstract
Background Reconstruction for large bone defect of distal tibia after wide resection of tumor is difficult, and the best option remains controversial. This study presents a novel “double-strut” fibula ankle arthrodesis for this issue. Methods Nine patients with malignant or aggressive tumors of distal tibia underwent novel “double-strut” fibula ankle arthrodesis after wide tumor resection were retrospectively reviewed. We assessed the bone union time, complications and oncology outcome clinically and radiographically. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) were used to evaluate the functional outcome. Results The average followup period was 53 ± 46 months. There was no deep infection or graft fracture observed in this series. Internal fixation loosening was found in one case. In these patients, eight achieved union at both proximal and distal junctions, while one achieved union only distally. The mean union time of the proximal junctions and distal junctions was 10.5 ± 1.6 months and 8.7 ± 2.3 months, respectively. The mean postoperative MSTS score was 83% ± 8%. The subscales of FAOS indicating the most problem was Sport and Recreation Function with a mean score of 18 ± 11. At the final follow-up, one of them (1/9, 11%) experienced local recurrence in soft tissue and received another resection surgery, and four (4/9, 44%) patients developed lung metastases. Conclusions For large bone defect of distal tibia, this novel “double-strut” fibula reconstruction can be a viable alternative, which is capable of achieving durable ankle fusion and functional salvaged limb with low rate of complications.
