| Abstrakt: | Aim: The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of biological (nonvascularized fibula grafts and extracorporeal irradiated autologous bone grafts) methods used for reconstruction of intercalary defects after resection of femoral diaphyseal tumors. Materials and Methods: This study included 28 patients who had undergone intercalary resection in femoral diaphyseal tumors between 2011 and 2016. The mean follow-up period was 24 months (range 12-57 months). Results: The mean union time for diaphyseo-diaphyseal union was 10.5 and 11 months in nonvascularized fibula group and extracorporeal radiotherapy (ECRT) group, respectively. The mean union time for metaphyseo-diaphyseal union was 6.5 months in both nonvascularized fibula and ECRT groups. Six patients had distant metastasis, and one patient had local recurrence. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 28 at the last follow-up. Two patients had surgical site infection in the nonvascularized fibula group. Implant failure was found in one patient of the ECRT group requiring revision surgery. Three patients had nonunion (two from the nonvascularized fibula group and one from the ECRT group). Conclusion: The present study indicates that the biological reconstruction modalities provide good functional outcomes in diaphyseal tumors of femur. Nonvasularized fibula and ECRT-treated autografts reconstruction provides good results, and union timing is comparable. The outcomes of the current study are promising as compared to the results in the reviewed literature. The reconstruction method depends on the resources available at the oncological center and the conversance with the method of the treating surgeon. |
