- Pearls:
- reconstruction of the proximal tibia following tumor resection is associated w/ a high rate of complications;
- a major unsolved problem involves reattachment of the extensor mechanism;
- patellar tendon reattachment to a prosthesis is generally unsuccessful;
- w/ allografting of the proximal tibia, consider transfer of the extensor mechanism into the medial gastrocnemius, w/ postop immobilization in extension;
