Abstract
Structural bone allografts have become an alternative in the treatment of limb bone tumours with a chance of limb-saving surgery. We present an observational retrospective study on the use of structural bone allografts in bone tumours of the long bones in our hospital between January 1993 and January 2010, with a sample of 37 patients subjected to this surgical technique. After obtaining clinical information from our sample we applied the Mankin and EVACOM HUVA functional scales with excellent, very good and good results in 84%, and with the radiological information we applied the ISOLS osseointegration scale, with 95.6% of excellent results after 24 months. These results demonstrate that structural bone allografts are a valid and reproducible technique in patients with destructive long bone tumours.
