Induced-Membrane Reconstruction after Calcaneum's Ewing Sarcoma in Children: a Report of Three Cases

We present three cases of calcaneus resection for Ewing sarcoma in children and its reconstruction managed by induced-membrane technique. To our knowledge, this technique has never been published for hindfoot's tumor management. Three children (aged from 9 to 14 years) had partial or total resection of calcaneus initially replaced by a cement spacer. The second step consisted of removing the cement and filling the membrane cavity with autograft taken from the ispilateral iliac crest, potentially combined with bone substitute.
