Summary

This study looked back at medical records of 91 children who had a malignant bone tumor removed from their leg and then had the bone rebuilt using one of three techniques: induced membrane, vascularized fibula, or vascularized fibula plus a bone graft. The goal was to compare how quickly the bone healed, how many additional surgeries were needed, and overall function. The findings may help guide future treatment choices.
