Abstract
Limb salvage procedures for osteosarcomas of the upper tibia present combined problems of knee-joint and tibial reconstruction. Many methods of overcoming this have been described. We describe a new technique of prosthetic knee-joint and upper-tibial reconstruction, combined with a vascularized fibular bone flap for reattachment of the quadriceps muscle and tendon unit, resulting in superior long-term function.
