Abstract:
Benign or low-grade malignant tumor of bones neighbouring a joint can be treated by segmental resection and the use of an allograft for reconstruction. Fourteen patients have been treated in this way since 1977, with success in 12 cases and failure in 2 because of infection.Allograft was obtained from fresh cadaver and stored in deep-frozen state (-170C). Within 3 weeks to 6 months, the biological vigor of the bone tissue could be retained and its antigenicity destroyed, so that no immunological reaction took place after replacing the joint and the allograft survived.Eleven patients have been followed up from one and one-half years to five years In the 7 cases with giant-cell tumor at the proximal end of tibia, their range of movement has been attained around 90 degrees. Of the two patients with os-teogenic sarcoma, one has been followed up for one and a half years, and the other for three years. There appears no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis in both. The affected limbs are all capable of weight-bearing and locoma-tion.
