Lengthening of a free fibular graft after sarcoma resection of the humerus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a patient who had resection of the humerus for osteosarcoma, initial reconstruction with a free fibular graft of the humerus, and subsequent lengthening of the graft. A 9-cm (100% of free fibula length) lengthening was achieved to equalize the humerus length. A complication of regenerate fracture was treated successfully with plating. Four years after the initial surgery for lengthening, the patient presented with a new radial neuropathy.

PRESENTATION OF CASE We presented a 42 years old male with rapidly growing osteosarcoma on his right distal humerus. After induction chemotherapy, wide excision and reconstruction using free vasculari...

Management of long bone defects occurring in accidents or war injuries is a difficult problem, From 1978 to 1986, 11 patients were treated for long bone defects of the humerus ( 10 cases) and radius (one case), using free vascularized fibular transfer by microsurgical technique .The patients were followed for 4 months and in all of them, selective angiography and scanning revealed exellent...
متن کاملA case of replacement of the upper end of the humerus by a fibular graft reviewed after twenty-nine years.
In recent years, after resection of the ends of long bones, increasing use has been made of acrylic resins and stainless steel for replacement, to the exclusion of the bone-grafting procedures described by earlier workers. Rovsing (1910), after resecting the proximal two-thirds of the humerus for round-cell sarcoma in a man aged twenty-six, used a graft of the proximal end of the fibula to repl...

In this paper we describe two children with a history of local swelling and pain in the humeral area who showed pathological fracture of the humerus. Needle biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma. Surgical procedures were performed in both patients. Both patients showed total remission after wide resection combined with segm...
