The proximity of the superior tibiofibular articulation to neurovascular structures makes the management of extraosseous tumours of the proximal fibula challenging in bone tumour surgery. The aim of study is to establish whether the recurrence rates are higher in this anatomical area compared to data that already exists in publication for bone tumours throughout the appendicular skeleton. A retrospective study of all patients treated for Ewing's tumours and osteosarcoma at a regional bone tumour unit between January 1995 and December 2009 was conducted.Introduction
