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

The aims of this retrospective study were to report the feasibility
of using 3D-printing technology for patients with a pelvic tumour
who underwent reconstruction. A total of 35 patients underwent resection of a pelvic tumour
and reconstruction using 3D-printed endoprostheses between September
2013 and December 2015. According to Enneking’s classification of
bone defects, there were three Type I lesions, 12 Type II+III lesions,
five Type I+II lesions, two Type I+II+III lesions, ten type I+II+IV
lesions and three type I+II+III+IV lesions. A total of three patients
underwent reconstruction using an iliac prosthesis, 12 using a standard
hemipelvic prosthesis and 20 using a screw-rod connected hemipelvic
prosthesis.Aims
