Assessment of the Viability and Union Feature of Diaphysis Reconstruction Using Pasteurized Tumor Bone and Intramedullary Free Fibular After Tumor Resection

Conclusions: Reconstruction using PTM combined with VFG is associated with good short-term biological activity as indicated by bone scintigraphy, a high union rate, and an acceptable complication rate. The technique is a useful reconstruction option for large segmental bone defects after tumor resection in lower extremities. Level of Evidence: Level IV—therapeutic study.
