INTRODUCTION

Limb salvage surgery is a common treatment for patients who suffer from bone tumors. In the case of pelvic tumors this creates a challenge for the surgeon and the treatment remains controversial because the oncologic complications like local recurrence, dissemination and orthopaedic ones, like infection, haemorrhage, and mechanical problems of reconstructions Tumors affecting the acetabulum are a challenge for the surgeon because of the impact in the function of the extremity. There are many reconstruction techniques described in the literature like prosthesis, allograft systems, arthrodesis, etc…, but still there is not a gold standard due to the poor functional results at long term follow up, and the associated complications of all techniques. In this study we show the experience in our center on pelvic reconstructions after tumors affecting the acetabulum area (zone II).
