Segmental resection for chondrosarcoma.
Specific anatomical and pathological criteria for resectability of so-called central chondrosarcoma of the extremities were set forth and a method of treatment based on autoclaving the segment and surrounding it with massive amounts of fresh autogenous cancellous bone was used in eight patients. Follow-up ranged from 3.2 to 13.5 years. The advantages of the method are: ease of procurement of bone graft, absence of storage and measurement problems, and lack of need for rigid immobilization. No secondary procedures were required because of fracture, resorption, or infection.
