Abstract
Background: Traditionally, metatarsal Ewing sarcoma (ES) is managed with disarticulation above the tarsometatarsal joint and ray amputation. In this study, we evaluate the outcomes of a less invasive approach in patients with metatarsal ES and good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: Eleven patients with metatarsal ES (mean age: 11.5 ± 3) and complete radiologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy who underwent resection and reconstruction with fibular strut allograft were included.
Results: At a mean follow-up of 8.5 ± 4 years, the mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of the patients was 29 ± 1.7. Patients with metatarsophalangeal joint fusion had limitations in reactional activities. One patient had a local recurrence. Postoperative complications included wound dehiscence (n = 1), superficial infection (n = 1), and allograft fracture (n = 1). Only one patient required revision surgery.
Conclusion: Fibular allograft reconstruction after resection of metatarsal ES can be regarded as a valuable alternative to amputation in patients who respond well to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
