Delayed Reconstruction by Total Calcaneal Allograft following Calcanectomy: Is It an Option?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many options are available in literature for the management of delayed reconstruction following calcanectomy. In cases of low-grade tumor lesions, conservative surgery can be considered. We describe a case of delayed reconstruction by calcaneal allograft after calcanectomy for low-grade chondrosarcoma. At 12-month follow-up, the patient had no pain; MSTS score and AOFAS score were satisfactory. Subtalar nonunion was observed with no secondary displacement or graft necrosis. The aim of conservative treatment for this patient was to restore normal gait with plantigrade locomotion and function of the Achilles tendon. Calcaneal reconstruction by total allograft is an alternative approach following calcanectomy for calcaneal tumors. We also discussed other options of calcaneal reconstruction.

Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma are the most common primary, nonhaemopoietic malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents. However, they rarely occur in the calcaneus with only few cases reported in the literature. Below knee amputation is considered to be the standard treatment leading to good functional results. However, in some rare instances a calcanectomy alone is possible and recons...

INTRODUCTION Plantar heel ulcers in people with diabetes represent a difficult challenge to the treating physician. They become even more difficult with underlying osteomyelitis. When this infection is in the calcaneus it typically results in a partial or total calcanectomy or even more frequently, high-level amputation. METHODS In this article, we describe a novel serpentine incisional appro...

Partial calcanectomy (PC) is an established limb salvage procedure for treatment of deep heel ulceration with concomitant calcaneal osteomyelitis. The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between the amount of calcaneus removed during PC and the resulting lower extremity function and limb salvage outcomes. Consecutive PC patients were retrospectively divided into two c...
