Recently performed limb-salvage surgery in an 11-year-old boy with non-metastatic osteosarcoma of the left distal femur and fixed knee flexion contracture, post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pre-op MRI showed the lesion abutting the neurovascular bundle; intra-operatively the tumor was partially encasing the bundle but could be carefully dissected free, permitting oncologically safe resection and reconstruction with a non-expandable distal femoral replacement. In our LMIC setting, cost and availability make non-expandable implants the only realistic option, and the pre-existing contracture meant accepting intentional shortening of ~0.5–1 cm to achieve a balanced limb.

It’s incredible what modern chemotherapy and teamwork can achieve.
This 16-year-old presented with Ewing sarcoma involving the femur with a large soft-tissue component. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the mass reduced significantly, making limb salvage possible. We performed a total femur replacement—one of the largest prostheses available—preserving his limb and giving him the best chance at function and being clear of his cancer.

As an orthopaedic oncologist, my primary practice is treating patients suffering from bone tumors. However, the journey often doesn’t end once the cancer is cured — especially in children.

Survivors may later develop deformities as a consequence of tumor excision, growth disturbance, and altered biomechanics. This is where one must bring out the deformity surgeon within and be ready to apply challenging solutions such as the Ilizarov fixator.

This young girl had fibula excision for Ewing sarcoma in childhood. Over time, she developed angulation, shortening, and a rigid foot deformity. Through staged correction, we addressed her leg deformity, and most recently attempted correction of her complex rigid foot deformity with an Ilizarov frame.

Such cases remind us that limb salvage is not just about removing a tumor, but also about restoring function, balance, and quality of life in the long term.

📌 Pediatric Limb Salvage with Liquid Nitrogen–Treated Bone

A busy month performing limb salvage surgeries in children using liquid nitrogen–treated autografts. This technique provides oncological safety while preserving bone biology and long-term function — a valuable option for childern suffering from Bone tumors.
