Abstract
A 15 year-old female patient was admitted with pain and swelling in her left knee and distal thigh. The knee had a 35 degrees flexion range, painful when attempted. Radiologically, a Iytic tumor in the distal third of the left femur which had expanded the bone entirely, containing the femoral condyles, invasing the subchondral bone, and sometimes destructing the cortex, was seen Histologic diagnosis was fusiform celled tumor with a low grade of malignancy. We decided to perform local resection and reconstruction in two stages. Local resection was perforrned and an intramedullary Kuntscher nail was inserted into the proximal femur and tibia. Mthylmethacrylate was used as spacer at the first satge. At the second stage, the Kuntscher nail and the spacer was removed and the Stanmore resection type total knee prosthesis was applied.
