Distal femur and proximal tibia are the main localization of primary malignant bone tumor. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most frequent. New techniques in imaging, recent development in chemotherapy protocols and surgery sharpening led to major improvement in their management, which allowed to minimize amputation ratio. The complexity of their treatment and their rarity imply the involvement of multidisciplinary approach, in terms of both surgical and medical points of view. After resection, total knee arthroplasty has become the gold standard of reconstruction in such localizations. It uses press fit against healthy bone, thanks to long centromedullar stems, because of major soft tissues resection due to carcinologic surgery rules. The incision is usually antero-medial and the main difficulty is mostly linked to the care of vascular and nervous systems and the extensor apparatus. The conservation (or not) of the latter modifies the surgical technique. Articular invasion will impose to perform a one-piece-articular resection, which will complicate the conservation of the extensor apparatus. There are lots of different techniques and prosthesis. Arthrodesis indications are seldom because prosthesis reconstructions have made proof of their efficacy and their longevity. Functional and oncologic results of this excision and reconstructive surgery are now clearly established. However, this represents complex and risky interventions which will often lead to secondary surgical revision because of the young age of patients and their functional demands. This can only stress the necessity of addressing patients to specialized, network-organized sarcoma teams.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D001859 Bone Neoplasms Tumors or cancer located in bone tissue or specific BONES. Bone Cancer,Cancer of Bone,Cancer of the Bone,Neoplasms, Bone,Bone Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Bone
D002813 Chondrosarcoma A slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with ENCHONDROMATOSIS. (Stedman, 25th ed) Chondrosarcomas

D012512 Sarcoma, Ewing A malignant tumor of the bone which always arises in the medullary tissue, occurring more often in cylindrical bones. The tumor occurs usually before the age of 20, about twice as frequently in males as in females.

D012516 Osteosarcoma A sarcoma originating in bone-forming cells, affecting the ends of long bones. It is the most common and most malignant of sarcomas of the bones, and occurs chiefly among 10- to 25-year-old youths.
