Limb salvage in sarcomas in children
Copyright policy )Limb salvage in sarcomas in children
AbstractLimb‐saving surgery plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of malignant tumors of the extremities. This type of surgery may pose special problems in children when one or two epiphyses have to be sacrificed. An unacceptable leg‐length discrepancy may occur, especially in the very young child, at the end of growth after reconstructive procedures. The different possibilities of reconstruction after a tumor resection and their repercussions in growth are discussed. The role of reconstruction by means of a rotation plasty versus other methods of reconstruction is especially considered.
