Hemi-lateral cortical resection for parosteal osteosarcoma

Ms. Wang, 19 years old, had paracortical osteosarcoma of the lower femoral segment. Due to the patient’s reason, instead of resection and reconstruction of the tumor segment, a hemipelvectomy of the tumor with inactivation and replantation was performed, preserving the knee structure. The patient has been followed up for 4 years, with no tumor recurrence, no metastasis, and good healing of the femur, but poor knee function, and the patient is satisfied.

Conclusion: Marginal resection reconstruction of low-grade malignant tumors is also a worthwhile option with the advantage of biological reconstruction and preservation of the joint as much as possible.
