Abstract
Objective: To evaluate orthopedic results of limb-salvage surgery use wide resection surgery and vascularized fibular grafts. Subject and method: 41 cases of malignant and borderline bone tumor at humerus, radial, tibia were treated by operation at Bone and Joint Pathology Department, Hopital for Trauma and Orthopaedic in Ho Chi Minh City from 2005 to 2020. Methods: Prospective study, evaluation of bone healing according to Hsu, graft hypertrophy according to De Boer and Wood, function was documented according to the MSTS (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society) functional scoring system. Result: Average age 26.3 (25 male-16 female). Average follow-up 79.2 ± 54.2 months, 100% bone healing, average bone healing time 5.20 ± 0.68 months, bone graft hypertrophy 43.9%. The mean limb function according to MSTS was 81% ± 8.65%. Conclusion: The limb-salvage surgery of malignant and borderline bone tumor use wide resection surgery and vascularized fibular grafts gives good orthopedic results.
