Abstract
The proximal tibia is a common site for primary bone tumors. Proximal tibial tumors may invade the adjacent soft-tissue by destroying the cortex and may further invade neurovascular bundles. We treated a patient with primary bone tumor of the proximal tibia with neurovascular invasion by extracorporeally irradiated autograft-prosthetic composite arthroplasty with vascular reconstruction. In cases of concomitant allograft arthroplasty and vascular reconstruction, we recommend that vascular reconstruction be performed before arthroplasty to minimize ischemia time. Good oncological and functional outcomes were achieved 75 months after surgery. Therefore, this reconstruction technique can be considered as a good treatment option.
