The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and oncological outcome of recycled autograft reconstruction after a wide excision for primary malignant bone tumor around the hip. From 1998 to 2015, 67 patients with a primary malignant bone tumor involving proximal femur or periacetabular zone (P2) were included. There were 36 males and 31 females with a mean age of 34 years (13 to 58). Of these, 29 patients had grade I or II chondrosarcoma, 28 high-grade osteosarcoma, 6 Ewing's sarcoma and 4 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Enneking stage of all 67 patients was stage II. Of the resection classification, proximal femur resection was performed in 29 patients, P1+P2 in 15, P2+P3 in 14, P1+P2+P3 in 4, P2 only in 4, and P2+proximal femur in 1. Extracorporeally irradiated recycled autograft and liquid nitrogen frozen autograft were performed in 44 and 23 patients, respectively. At a mean follow-up of 98 months (10 to 239), 48 patients (72%) were continuously disease-free, 12 (18%) died of disease and 7 (10%) were alive with disease. The tumors of these patients who had died of disease were usually located in pelvic bones (10/12). Of these 37 patients with pelvic tumors, 7 patients (22%) had local recurrence, four of them received external hemipelvectomy. Other complications included hip dislocation in 2 patients, nerve injury in 2 and deep infection in 2. However, the above complications were rarely occurred in the patients with proximal femur reconstruction. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society functional score were 77% (53 to 93). Recycled autograft reconstruction for primary malignant bone tumor around the hip is a valid method with acceptable morbidity and a favorable functional outcome
