[Progress in repair and reconstruction of large segmental bone tumor defect in distal tibia]

To review the methods of repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in distal tibia.

The related literature of repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in disatal tibia were reviewed and analyzed from the aspects of the reserved ankle joint and the non-reserved ankle joint.

The large segmental bone tumor defect in distak tibia is not rare in clinical. In addition to conventional allograft bone transplantation, vascularized autologous fibular transplantation, vascularized fibular allograft, inactivated tumor regeneration, distraction osteogenesis, and bone transport techniques; membrane-induced osteogenesis, artificial tumor stem prosthesis, three-dimensional printed metal trabecular prosthesis, ankle arthrodesis, artificial tumor ankle joint placement surgery are now gradually applied to the repair and reconstruction of large segmental bone defects in the distal tibia. Moreover, due to its long survival time, the function of reconstruction of the bone tumor defect in the distal tibia has also received increasing attention.

Although the ideal methods of repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in the distal tibia has not yet been developed, great progress has been achieved. Recently, with the appearance of three-dimensional printing and various preoperative simulation techniques, personalized and precise therapy could become ture, but therapies for the large segmental bone tumor defect in the distal tibia still need to be further explored.
