Introduction

We analyzed the results of extracorporeal radiated (ECRT) autogenous tumour bone for reconstruction of diaphyseal defects after tumour resection at our institute.

Methods

Sixteen diaphyseal bone tumours operated between March 2006 to March 2008 were reconstructed with ECRT bone after appropriate oncologic resection. These included 10 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 5 of Osteosarcoma and 1 Adamantinoma. Nine involved femur, 5 tibia and 2 humerus. Suitable internal stabilisation (14 cases plate fixation, 2 intramedullary nails) was used after re-implanting ECRT bone. Average resection length was 18.9 cm (range, 11 to 30 cm).
