Abstract

Surgical treatment of primary malignant periacetabular tumors is one of the most difficult orthopedic surgeries. Tumor resection always leads to significant instability of the affected extremity. Attempting wide resection margins, the femoral head may not be saved in case of small malignant periacetabular tumors. In addition, large pelvic defects lead to considerable shortening and instability of the leg, demanding functional amelioration. Limiting factors for limb salvage surgery are the vicinity of the ventral neurovascular bundle and the dorsal sciatic nerve. This often leads to neural palsies of the leg and to at least venous and lymphatic edema due to resection and replacement of vessels, both resulting in an impaired function of the hip joint.
