Fig. 3D. 14-year-old boy with intercalary reconstruction of proximal
tibia for fibrosarcoma. Dotted line on radiographs corresponds to level of CT
images. CT scan at 4 years (obtained 3 years after C) shows fracture
(arrow) of allograft, although small ossifications
(arrowhead) are seen on allograft surface. Inner portion of this
implant did not change before and after complete weight bearing. After
fracture, no rapid hypertrophy of fibula occurred. All these were considered
signs of failure of transplanted fibula vascularity.
