Abstract

We have classified pelvic tumor resections into five types according to the disruption of the structural continuity of the pelvic ring, sacrifice of the hip joint, and the necessity for reconstruction. Type IA is a resection of the iliac wing; type IB is a resection of the ischium; type II is a resection of the anterior part of the pelvic ring; type III is a resection of the periacetabular area. In type IIIA, only the acetabulum is resected; in type HIB, both the acetabulum and the femoral head are reseted. Type IVA is a partial resection of the unilateral sacroiliac joint. Type IVB is a total resection of the unilateral sacroiliac joint. Type VA is a partial resection of the sacrum. Type VB is total sacral resection.
