Summary

This study looked back at medical records of 91 children who had surgery for bone cancer in their leg between 1986 and 2017. It compared three different ways to rebuild the bone after removing the tumor: the induced membrane technique, a vascularized fibula graft, and a fibula graft combined with a donor bone. The goal was to see which method led to faster healing, fewer complications, and better function over five years.
