Reconstruction of the tibia by dual grafting. 3 cases of tumor resection.

Acta Orthop Scand

Department of Orthopedics, University Hospital Dijkzigt, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Published: June 1990

Large defects of the tibia can be bridged with autologous cancellous grafts between the remaining fibula and a contralateral tibial cortical graft. The long-term results of this technique in 3 cases after resection of a malignant tumor were either excellent or fair. It is concluded that this technique is an effective limb-saving surgical procedure.

Background: Coronal lower extremity malalignment and improper implant position have been described as risk factors for aseptic tibial loosening following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, several prior studies have shown no association between alignment and implant loosening. Meanwhile, there is increasing interest in kinematic alignment.

Background And Purpose:  Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.

Introduction: Fibular- and tibiofibular-based reconstructions are the gold standard treatment for posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries of the knee. This is the first report describing a wholly tibial-based PLC reconstruction.

Case Report: A 50-year-old female presented with knee instability following proximal fibular resection for a benign tumor, associated with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency from a previous injury.

Introduction: Giant cell tumour or osteoclastoma is benign, locally aggressive tumor with bone destruction and with malignant potential. It accounts for 5% of all primary bone tumor and occurs in skeletally mature individuals in the age group of 30 to 45 with peak incidence in the 3rd decade. GCT is more common in females.

The formation of a functional tibial stump after combat injuries with extensive tissue damage is sometimes difficult. We describe a case of reconstruction of the tibial stump after a mine-blast injury. In this case, the fibula was completely removed as a result of fracture, and the tibia was amputated at the border of the upper and middle thirds.
