Bone reconstruction after malignant tumour resection using a motorized lengthening intramedullary nail in adolescents: Preliminary results

Abstract: Purpose Bone reconstruction after malignant tumour of the lower limbs is a challenge. Our aim was to investigate the results of bone lengthening and transport using the Fitbone motorized lengthening nail. Methods Eight patients were included. Two patients had had a tumour involving soft tissue only without bone resection. In six patients, the initial bone defect was 15.5 cm (8 to 24). The first step of reconstruction had consisted of temporary fixation and a cement spacer. The second step had consisted of bone… Show more

“…In comparison, Accadbled et al. ( 2019 ) reported successful healing with the FITBONE bone transport nail in 3 out of 3 femoral segmental bone defects after tumor resection. No tibial case series have been presented for bone transport nails, but in a recent systematic review of Ilizarov bone transport for treatment of tibial defects, the mean bone union rate was 90% (77–100) (Aktuglu et al.…”

“…With the advancement of chemotherapy drugs and arti cial manufacturing system, joint-sparing limb salvage surgery (JSLSS) has been the standard treatment for children with osteosarcoma in order to maintain normal joint function and protect the epiphyseal plate [6]. Biological reconstruction with vascularized bular graft [9], treated autologous bone [10][11], allograft combined bula allograft [12] and segmental transport [13] would be acceptable techniques for this kind of patients. But, these reconstruction techniques would be usually associated with frequent complications, such as graft resorption, nonunion, pathological fractures and insu cient demand of weight-bearing [14].…”
