| Résumé : | Osteosarcoma of the proximal fibula represents about 2% of all osteosarcomas. The complexity of anatomical structures in this region led in the past to low transfemoral amputation in order to achieve local control. Three patients aged 14, 13 and 14 were treated in our institution and surgical margins were free of tumour after a wide en bloc resection. To achieve that, the lateral wall of the tibia and the anterior tibial artery were taken out with the proximal fibula. All three patients are alive without evidence of disease. The functional results are evaluated according to Enneking system recommended and adopted by the Musculo-Skeletal-Tumor Society (M.S.T.S). Overall functional results were 80, 100 and 100%. |
