    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • The primary goal in treating bone tumors is shifting towards preserving limb function.
    • Advancements in surgical techniques and interdisciplinary collaboration are crucial for achieving this goal.

    Observation:

    • Microsurgery presents innovative approaches for functional limb preservation in bone tumor management.
    • Radical tumor resection necessitates effective methods for reconstructing large bone defects.

    Findings:

    • A combined approach using plates, microvascular free fibula grafts, and cancellous bone grafts enables stable reconstruction of resected bone areas.
    • This technique effectively bridges defects created after tumor removal, ensuring structural integrity.

    Implications:

    • This reconstructive strategy holds significant potential for improving functional outcomes in patients undergoing bone tumor surgery.
    • Enhanced stability and function post-reconstruction can lead to better quality of life for bone tumor survivors.
