title: Massive allograft of the tibia for a child with McCune-Albright syndrome: case presentation and surgical intervention.
abstract: We hereby present a case of massive allografting of the tibia in a 9-year-old girl with McCune-Albright syndrome. Total replacement of the diaphysis and preservation of growth plates on both ends of the tibia was performed. After 5 years of follow-up, the graft is still intact and growth plates are active. We discuss the current knowledge about this syndrome, intervention modalities, as well as advantages and disadvantages of massive allografting.
