Distraction osteogenesis by Ilizarov's method is becoming popular for limb saving surgery today.

This case suggests that stimulation of osteogenesis by bone distraction promotes tumor recurrence and metastases in osteosarcoma. We recommend to use this method only when allograft or endoprostheses can not save the limb after wide bone resection.
