Tibia Adamantinoma Resection and Reconstruction with a Custom-Made Total Tibia Endoprosthesis: A Case Report with 8-Year Follow-Up

Abstract EN

This case study describes a total tibia resection and reconstruction with a custom-made endoprosthetic replacement (EPR) and a long-term, 8-year follow-up.

The patient underwent a total tibia adamantinoma resection in 2009.

Reconstruction was performed with a custom-made total tibia EPR, where both the knee joint and ankle joint were reconstructed.

Two muscle flaps, latissimus dorsi free flap and a pedicled medial gastrocnemius flap, were used for soft tissue reconstruction.

The patient returned to normal life as a kindergarten teacher, without complications for eight years.

This case demonstrated the importance of successful multidisciplinary teamwork in close collaboration with industry.

In our best knowledge, no over 2 years of follow-up of total tibia replacement reports have been published.
