  • Title: Tibial turn-up procedure as an alternative to rotationplasty in a 4-year-old with osteosarcoma of the distal femur.
    Author: Tate R, Gerrand C, Hale J.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2015 Jan; 24(1):50-5. PubMed ID: 25305046.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of the distal femur after resection for primary bone tumour in very young patients presents a considerable challenge. The risks and benefits of the available reconstructive options need to be carefully balanced. We report a case of osteosarcoma of the distal femur in a 4-year-old boy that was, unusually, treated by amputation and a tibial turn-up procedure; we discuss the rationale for the procedure and report the results at early follow-up.
