Spontaneous healing of fractures and osteotomy within intercalary allograft reconstruction after distal femur osteosarcoma resection in a child

In selected patients, allograft incorporation can be completed to a degree allowing for its biologic activity and spontaneous healing of fractures or osteotomy.
