Implication
Supports joint-sparing resection in selected low-grade tumors; leaves open confirmation in prospective series.
Structured PICO
Does hemicortical resection with inlay allograft reconstruction provide good oncological and functional outcomes in patients with low-grade malignant bone tumours?
P
Population
n=22 selected patients with low-grade surface tumours of bone (parosteal osteosarcoma [n=6], peripheral chondrosarcoma [n=6], and adamantinoma [n=10])
I
Intervention
Hemicortical resection retaining part of the circumference of the cortex, with inlay allograft reconstruction
O
Outcome
Local recurrence or distant metastasishard clinical
Hemicortical resection with allograft reconstruction is a technically demanding but effective joint-sparing procedure for selected low-grade malignant bone tumors, yielding excellent oncological and functional outcomes.
