Internal hemipelvectomy offers an alternative to hindquarter amputation for pelvic tumors. This case details a total innominatectomy for pelvic chondrosarcoma, preserving the limb.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical oncology
  • Orthopedic oncology
  • Pelvic tumor resection

Background:

  • Malignant pelvic tumors necessitate limb salvage or amputation.
  • Internal hemipelvectomy (IHP) and innominatectomy are alternatives to hindquarter amputation.
  • IHP allows for pelvic tumor resection while preserving the lower limb.

Observation:

  • A case of chondrosarcoma of the innominate bone is presented.
  • The tumor extended from the sacroiliac joint to the ischium.
  • Complete resection required a total innominatectomy.

Findings:

  • Total innominatectomy involves disarticulation at the pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint.
  • This procedure was performed for surgical clearance and treatment of the pelvic chondrosarcoma.

  • The lower limb was preserved with residual pelvic segments.

    • Implications:

    • Total innominatectomy can be a viable option for extensive pelvic bone tumors.
    • Limb preservation is achievable with radical pelvic resections.
    • This approach may improve oncological outcomes and quality of life for patients with pelvic sarcomas.
