    Author: Mnaymneh W, Malinin T, Mnaymneh LG, Robinson D.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1990 Jun; (255):128-32. PubMed ID: 2347146.
    Abstract:
    A 23-year-old man with a large chondrosarcoma of the right bony pelvis was successfully treated by limb-saving internal hemipelvectomy and anatomic reconstruction of the pelvis by a pelvic osteoarticular allograft including the acetabulum. Optimum anatomic fit was achieved at the hip joint as well as at the iliac and pubic host-graft junctions, which were fixed with plates and screws. This reconstruction restored stability, leg length, hip motion, and cosmesis. Five and one-half years postoperatively, the patient remained asymptomatic with good functional and roentgenographic results.
