Abstract

In 11 patients juxta-articular osteosarcoma around the knee was treated by intraepiphyseal excision of the tumour and reconstruction of the bone defect by distraction osteogenesis. Preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy was given to eight patients with high-grade tumours. The articular cartilage of the epiphysis and a maximum of healthy soft tissues were preserved. Distraction osteogenesis was then carried out. The mean gain in length was 9.7 cm. Full function of the limb was preserved in all except one patient, with a mean follow-up of 53.8 months. Treatment of juxta-articular osteosarcomas around the knee with joint preservation and biological reconstruction using distraction osteogenesis can give excellent functional results.
