    Abstract:
    An operative approach to the inferior pubic ramus that was utilized in four patients with various bone tumors in the inferior pubic ramus is described here. These patients were successfully managed though a femoribus internus (inner thigh)-perineal approach. Data concerning preoperative and postoperative symptoms, surgical procedures, and outcomes are presented. There was no recurrence in the four cases and the pain associated with an initial pelvic floor had completely resolved except one case. The slight limitation in range of motion of the left hip joint and pain were performed in the same case postoperatively. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores were 28, 15, 25, and 18 at the final follow-up. A typical case is described in full and our experience concerning surgical indications, and intraoperative issues in tumor patients discussed. The purpose of this paper is to recommend that the femoribus internus-perineal approach be used to resect the inferior pubic ramus, whether affected by osteomyelitis, bone tumor, or tuberculosis, but especially in patients with tumors.
