[ooo id="44530"]


- Osteochondroma
- Osteosarcoma
- Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
- Ewing's sarcoma: (diaphyseal region);
- Chondroblastoma
- Chondromyxoid fibroma
- Fibrous Dysplasia
- Eosinophilic granuloma
- Aneurysmal bone cyst
- Simple bone cyst
- Giant cell sarcoma
- Fibrous Histiocytoma
- Fibrosarcoma of bone;
- Adamantinoma
- Osteoma: middle 1/3 (rare)

- Pearls:
- reconstruction of the proximal tibia following tumor resection is associated w/ a high rate of complications;
- a major unsolved problem involves reattachment of the extensor mechanism;
- patellar tendon reattachment to a prosthesis is generally unsuccessful;
- w/ allografting of the proximal tibia, consider transfer of the extensor mechanism into the medial gastrocnemius, w/ postop immobilization in extension
