[Resection arthrodesis of the proximal ankle joint in Ewing's sarcoma. Maintenance of leg length using distraction osteogenesis].
The technique of segmental transport of the tibia according to Ilzarov is a well-known procedure in pediatric orthopedics, but in the treatment of bone tumors it has not yet been established. The method is also applicable for filling a large gap after tumor resection in the distal tibia. A case history is presented in which Ewing's sarcoma localized in the distal tibia was removed surgically after multiagent chemotherapy. The ankle joint was successfully fused after bone transport of the tibia 5 cm distal to the talus.
