Conservative hemipelvectomy, a limb-sparing surgery for pelvic tumors like Ewing's sarcoma, demonstrated encouraging outcomes. This approach preserved the lower extremity, enabling functional recovery and effective tumor control.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional hemipelvectomy (hindquarter amputation) for pelvic tumors often resulted in significant functional loss.
  • Emerging surgical techniques aim to improve oncologic control while preserving limb function.

Observation:

  • A patient with pelvic Ewing's sarcoma underwent a conservative hemipelvectomy, preserving the lower extremity.
  • The procedure involved temporary fixation of the femoral head with a Steinman pin, followed by a structured rehabilitation protocol including traction and gradual weight-bearing.

Findings:

  • The patient successfully remodelled a neoacetabulum, achieving hip joint stability and enabling unaided walking.
  • A 2 cm limb-shortening was noted, but no local tumor recurrence was observed during a 30-month follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Conservative hemipelvectomy presents a viable limb-sparing option for pelvic tumors, balancing oncologic safety with functional preservation.
  • This surgical approach offers encouraging results for tumor control and improved gait function in patients with pelvic malignancies.
