The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome
of 15 patients (mean age 13.6 years (7 to 25)) with a primary sarcoma
of the tibial diaphysis who had undergone excision of the affected
segment that was then irradiated (90 Gy) and reimplanted with an
ipsilateral vascularised fibular graft within it. The mean follow-up was 57 months (22 to 99). The mean time to
full weight-bearing was 23 weeks (9 to 57) and to complete radiological
union 42.1 weeks (33 to 55). Of the 15 patients, seven required
a further operation, four to obtain skin cover. The mean Musculoskeletal

Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of 3D-printed modular prostheses in patients who underwent joint-sparing limb salvage surgery (JSLSS) for malignant femoral diaphyseal bone tumours. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 17 patients (13 males and four females) with femoral diaphyseal tumours who underwent JSLSS in our hospital. Results. In all, 17 patients with locally aggressive bone tumours (Enneking stage IIB) located in the femoral shaft underwent JSLSS and
