Systematic Review of bone transport versus fibular bone grafting for the reconstruction of bony defects following bone tumors resection

Abstract

The treatment of bone defects occurring after the resection of bone tumors is a major orthopedic problem. Limb-salvage operations are now done rather than amputation.

Various principles are available for reconstruction of the bone

defect following en-bloc resection of tumor endoprosthetic

replacement, Bone transport , Vascularized bone graft, non-

vascularized bone grafts, Allograft and synthetic bone graft.
