Distal fibulectomy for Ewing's sarcoma.
We treated five children with non-metastatic Ewing's sarcoma of the distal fibula by distal fibulectomy. At a mean of eight years after surgery they all had nearly normal levels of painfree function. Distal fibulectomy is a good alternative to the more radical amputations recommended in the past.
