title: [Massive bone grafts in children (apropos of 10 cases)].
abstract: We studied 10 massive - 70 degrees C frozen dried allografts (7 terminal intermediate) in children between the ages of 9 and 16 with malignant tumors (8 primary osteogenic sarcomas and 2 Ewing sarcomas). A good response to chemotherapy was observed. The average follow-up is 2 years (7-36 months). Results showed 4 mechanical complications (2 plate failures, 2 graft fractures) and no deaths. The surgical procedure and postoperative management are discussed and compared to prosthetic reconstruction.
