title: [Chondrosarcomas of the proximal femur and large toe. 2 case reports].
abstract: This is a report on two patients in their eighth decade suffering from a chondrosarcoma in the proximal femur and in the big toe. The resection of 22 cm of the proximal femur and the replacement with a modular tumour prosthesis proved successful. The other patient had a tumour in the proximal phalanx of the big toe and wide resection of the first ray was performed. No patient gave evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis.
