Graft Infections in Biologic Reconstructions in the Oncologic Setting: A Systematic Review of the Literature. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4656. [PMID: 39200798 PMCID: PMC11354657 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2024] [Revised: 08/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Biologic graft infection (BGI) is one of the main complications in graft reconstructions. However, very little evidence exists regarding the epidemiology of BGI, as most of the data come from sparse reports. Moreover, most of the series did not detail the treatment and outcome of graft infections. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to provide a comprehensive data collection on BGI after oncologic resections. Methods: Three different databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched for relevant articles, and further references were obtained by cross-referencing. Results: 139 studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 9824 grafts were retrieved. Among these, 684 (6.9%) were in the humerus, 365 (3.7%) in the pelvis, 2041 (20.7%) in the femur and 1660 (16.8%) in the tibia. Most grafts were osteoarticular (2481, 26.7%) and intercalary 2112 (22.7%) allografts. In 461 (5.0%), vascularized fibula grafts (VFGs) were used in combination with recycled autografts. Recycled grafts were reported in 1573 (16.9%) of the cases, and allograft-prosthetic composites in 1673 (18.0%). The pelvis and the tibia had the highest incidence of BGI (20.4% and 11.0%, respectively). The most reported first treatment was debridement and implant retention (DAIR) in 187 (42.8%) cases and two-stage revision with graft removal in 152 (34.8%). Very little data are reported on the final outcome specified by site or type of graft. Conclusions: This systematic review of the literature confirms a high incidence of infections in biologic reconstructions after resections of primary bone tumors. Despite DAIR being a viable attempt, in most cases, a two-stage approach with graft removal and reconstruction with endoprosthesis presented the highest chance to overcome infection, guaranteeing a reconstruction. We emphasize the need for future multicentric studies to focus on the management of infections after biological reconstructions in bone sarcomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb salvage surgery for calcaneal sarcomas remains challenging due to its poor compartmentalization. While below-knee amputation is still the standard choice of operative treatment, total calcanectomy with or without reconstruction was advocated. This report aims to analyze the clinical outcome of calcaneal reconstruction with cement and replantation in situ after the inactivation of tumor. METHODS We describe a 73-year-old male patient who suffered chronic pain and increasingly larger neoplasm in the left foot for about 3 years. Based on the results of percutaneous biopsy, a diagnosis of chondrosarcoma was made. RESULTS The patient underwent total calcanectomy, inactivation of calcaneus tumor, and reconstruction with cement. The Achilles tendon was detached through a Cincinnati incision. No adverse events occurred both during and after the surgery. At the last follow-up of 29 months, the patient claimed no pain, no evident limp, or any limitation of daily activities. Image examination, weight-bearing test, and MSTS score revealed a satisfactory result. CONCLUSION Calcaneal reconstruction with bone cement after total calcanectomy, inactivation of calcaneus tumor, and replantation in situ is likely to provide a feasible surgical choice and a satisfactory clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background Müller–Weiss disease (MWD), a rare dysplastic disorder of the foot, is characterized by deformity, sclerosis, and fragmentation of the lateral part of navicular bone. Arthrodesis is the mainstay treatment for MWD. Generally, arthrodesis can be achieved through internal fixation with metallic implants, and morselized chip bone may be packed into the gap for better bone union. However, with this procedure, the original foot size is not maintained and support for the foot arch is not provided. Sequela of short foot, or flatfoot is commonly observed even though these complications of surgery had not been reported with cases of MWD treated by arthrodesis. Herein, we present a retrospective analysis of treating MWD through midfoot and hindfoot arthrodesis combined with strut allograft. Methods From August 2006 to June 2019, 20 patients with MWD (mean age, 59.6 years; range, 40–80 years) underwent midfoot and hindfoot arthrodesis with strut bone allograft and were followed for at least 24 months. The patients were able to ambulate and participate in rehabilitation programs 3 months postoperatively. Results The used four radiographic parameters (Meary’s angle in anteroposterior and lateral view, talonavicular coverage angle, calcaneal pitch) demonstrated significant differences (P < .05) preoperatively and postoperatively, but those between the postoperative values and the values at the last follow-up session did not, indicating that strut allograft was able to maintain normal alignment. The mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot scores at 2 years postoperatively revealed significant improvement from baseline, from 60.2 to 84.2 (P < .05). The 12-item Short Form Health Survey scores also improved significantly (P < .05). All patients reported substantial pain relief and exhibited improved functional outcomes and gait patterns. Conclusions For advanced-stage MWD, arthrodesis with a precisely shaped, size-matched strut allograft provided strong support for biomechanical alignment and enhanced functional performance.

Abstract
Calcaneus's Ewing sarcoma is a rare location with a poor prognosis and remains challenging for tumor surgery. We present 3 cases of calcaneus resection for Ewing sarcoma in children and its reconstruction managed by induced-membrane technique. To our knowledge, this technique has never been published for hindfoot's tumor management. Three children (aged from 9 to 14 years) had partial or total resection of calcaneus initially replaced by a cement spacer. The second step consisted of removing the cement and filling the membrane cavity with autograft taken from the ipsilateral iliac crest, potentially combined with bone substitute. In the meantime, children received chemotherapy and possibly radiotherapy according to the Euro E.W.I.N.G. 99 protocol. It was possible to optimize bone formation as we carried out the bone grafting procedure sometime after the treatments. In one case, the evolution was marked by local septic complication, 9 months after resection, and by tumor recurrence in presacral soft tissues treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Partial weightbearing was allowed after 6 weeks of cast, under the protection of a splint. Graft consolidation was achieved at a median of 3.2 months (3-3.5) for all. After a median follow-up of 9 years (5-13), all preserved their limb and were considered in remission. The 3 children reached adulthood, with a median age of 21 years (19-24.8). At last follow-up, median Musculoskeletal Tumor Score was 73% (63-87), and median American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hind foot score was 78 (72-87).

Abstract
Bone tumors affecting pediatric foot are a rare occurrence. Most lesions are benign, but a thorough diagnostic evaluation must always be performed to rule out malignant tumors. Approach to benign lesions is conservative, from observation follow-up to curettage or mininvasive techniques. In malignant lesions, a wide resection must be performed and same protocols applied as in tumors affecting other skeletal sites. Reconstructive procedures should aim to mechanical stability and long-lasting results; joint motion restoring can be attempted when not negatively affecting stability. Amputation procedures should be considered as a still viable choice because of their good functional result in the foot.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advent of new techniques, foot salvage is feasible following talus oncological resection. As the reconstruction aims to achieve a pain-free, stable ankle for ambulation, biological limb reconstruction is the best option. This case series will evaluate the primary indications, complications, and functional outcomes of the reconstructed talus and highlighting the technical aspects of the surgery with a novel technique of triangular double-barrel free fibula flap. METHODS We performed a retrospective case note review of patients undergoing foot salvage surgeries and primary talus reconstruction with double-barrel free fibula flaps between 2009 and 2019. Patient demographics, aetiologies, operative details, complications, and outcomes were analysed. All patients underwent the same talar reconstruction technique whereby a wide-based triangular framework was created from two bony struts of the osteotomized fibula. The Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) scoring system was used to analyse the short- to mid-term functional outcomes. RESULTS Four consecutive patients with aggressive benign and malignant tumours were identified. They consist of three males and one female, with a median age of 32 (range 27-39). Patients were followed up for a median duration of 60 months (range 24-132). Two flaps were complicated with venous thromboses; however, all were salvageable following re-explorations. All patients achieved solid bony fusion with good functional and aesthetic outcomes. The median MSTS score was 74.5% (range 66-76). No donor site morbidity and local recurrence were reported. CONCLUSION The triangular double-barrel free fibular flap is a good option for limb salvage following total talus resection, with good short- to mid-term functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
Processed and radiation sterilized allograft tissues that can be banked for use on demand are a precious therapeutic resource for the repair or reconstruction of damaged or injured tissues. Skin dressings or skin substitutes like allograft skin, amniotic membrane and bioengineered skin can be used for the treatment of thermal burns and radiation induced skin injuries. Bone grafts can be employed for repairing fracture defects, filling in destroyed regions of bone, and treatment of spinal and joint injuries. A nuclear scenario would result in a large number of casualties due to the heat, blast and radiation effects of the weapon. Perspective of radiation sterilized biological tissues provided by the tissue banks for management of casualties in a nuclear disaster scenario is presented.

Abstract
Tumours of the foot and ankle constitute about 4-5% of all musculoskeletal tumours with the majority of them being benign. Diagnosis of malignant soft tissue or bone tumours is frequently delayed because of the relatively low prevalence and uncommon presentation at the foot and ankle. Suspicious lesions or lumps should be subjected to CT, MRI and biopsy. Subfascial location, lump size more than 5 cm, increase in size, painful and recurrent tumours should raise the suspicion of malignancy and lead to patient referral to a designated tumour centre. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, isolated limb perfusion (ILP) and hyperthermia for malignant tumours have to be discussed in a multidisciplinary tumour board. With the advances in local and free tissue transfer, limb-sparing techniques have increasingly replaced primary amputations thus preserving lower limb function as much as possible without compromising on the principles of oncologic resection.

Abstract
Limb salvage surgery refers to orthopaedic procedures designed to resect tumors and reconstruct limbs. Improvements in managing malignant bone lesions have led to a dramatic shift in limb salvage procedures. Orthopaedic surgeons now employ four main reconstructive procedures: endoprosthesis, autograft, bulk allograft, and allograft prosthetic composite. While each approach has its advantages, each technique is associated with complications. Furthermore, knowledge of procedure specific imaging findings can lead to earlier complication diagnosis and improved clinical outcomes. The aim of this article is to review leading reconstructive options available for limb salvage surgery and present a case series illustrating the associated complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb-salvage surgery has become the backbone treatment for musculoskeletal tumors in the last decades. However, limb-salvage with safe margins for tumors of the foot and ankle is challenging, due to the complex anatomy of this region. This study aimed to evaluate functional and oncological outcomes, complications, and local recurrence of limb-salvage procedures for tumors of the foot and ankle. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of 18 patients with primary tumors of the foot and ankle who underwent limb-salvage surgery between 1996 and 2015, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Clinical presentations, radiological and histopathological investigations, surgical procedures, functional and oncological outcomes, complications and local recurrences were analyzed. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system was utilized for evaluation of the functional outcome. RESULTS With a mean follow-up period of 44.2 months, 7 males and 11 females with a mean age of 29.2 years were included. Nine patients were presented as recurrent cases. The most common location was forefoot in 7 patients. Synovial sarcoma was the histopathologic diagnosis in 7 patients. The final surgical margins were wide in 15 patients, wide-contaminated in one patient, and marginal in two patients. After resection, soft tissue reconstruction and wound coverage were done by soft tissue flaps in 4 patients. The mean MSTS score was 27.5. Four patients developed local recurrence, all of them were recurrent cases. CONCLUSION Limb-salvage surgery for foot and ankle tumors is an effective treatment option with good functional outcome.

Abstract
Background: Complex hindfoot pathology may benefit from vascularized bone flap reconstruction rather than traditional bone grafting techniques. Medial femoral condyle (MFC) flaps provide vascularized periosteum, skin, and corticocancellous bone. Methods: A retrospective, single-institution cohort study of consecutive MFC flaps performed for complicated hindfoot reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 was reviewed. Radiologic follow-up assessed osseous union and clinical outcomes were evaluated with the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score. Thirty MFC flaps were performed in 28 patients for complex hindfoot pathology. Twenty-seven flaps had adequate clinical and radiographic follow-up (mean 15.8 months). Results: The majority presented with avascular necrosis (83%) and failed prior operations (67%, mean 3.1). Most hindfoot procedures involved arthrodesis (n = 24, 80%); tibiotalocalcaneal (n = 11) and talonavicular (n = 7) most frequently. Mean osseous flap volume was 10.3 cm3 (range 1.7-18.4 cm3); one flap required takeback for venous congestion but no total flap losses occurred. Primary osseous union was initially achieved in 20 patients (74%, mean 217 days). Six flaps developed interface nonunion; 5 underwent revision arthrodesis and ultimately achieved union in 24/27 flaps (89%, mean 271 days). Risk factors for nonunion were body mass index (BMI) >30 ( P = .017) and prior arthrodesis ( P = .042). Mean AOFAS hindfoot scores increased significantly from 52.3 preoperatively to 70.7 postoperatively ( P < .001). Subscore analysis demonstrated significant improvement in postoperative pain scores from 14.2 to 27.3 out of 40 ( P < .001). Conclusion: The MFC free flap provided vascularized bone for complicated foot and ankle reconstruction with relatively low donor site morbidity, promising osseous union results, and improved functional outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avascular necrosis of the distal tibial plafond following ankle trauma is an underreported and potentially devastating phenomenon. Beyond conservative treatment options, surgical intervention has been limited to ankle arthrodesis, which sacrifices motion and may have longterm sequellae for adjacent hindfoot joints. Total ankle replacement has been historically contraindicated. Unipolar allograft reconstruction provides an option for joint salvage. We present a literature overview, implantation technique, and two cases utilizing matched unipolar distal tibial allograft. METHODS Two younger patients underwent distal tibia allograft reconstruction for tibial plafond collapse due to post-traumatic avascular necrosis. They were followed to assess for clinical improvement and radiographic graft subsidence. RESULTS Both patients returned to work and activity. One patient had no graft subsidence at four years, but the other patient became symptomatic with graft subsidence at one year. CONCLUSIONS Distal tibia allograft reconstruction can be utilized as a joint salvage surgery for post-traumatic avascular necrosis with collapse of the tibial plafond in younger patients that prefer an alternative to arthrodesis. Results may be mixed and necessitate an engaged, activated patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
A subset of calcaneal fractures is so severe that it may warrant primary conservative treatment. Unfortunately, nonoperative management of these fractures can lead to the development of a calcaneal malunion and cause significant patient morbidity. Surgical management of these deformities often requires increasingly complex reconstructive procedures. The goals of surgery include re-establishing calcaneal height, restoring the talocalcaneal relationship, and creating a stable, plantigrade foot. This article highlights the available surgical treatment options (including calcanectomy, calcaneal allograft transplantation, vascularized autografts, and calcaneal prostheses) for the management of severe calcaneal malunion deformities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal treatment for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether curettage was successful in the treatment of GCTB. Intralesional curettage with adjuvant therapies, such as high-speed burring, polymethylmethacrylate, phenol, ethanol, and liquid nitrogen, may be used to reduce the local recurrence rate. However, there is no consensus on the optimal use of curettage, along with fillers and adjuvants, to limit the recurrence rate. METHODS We performed a systematic review of articles using the terms long bones, GCTB, and treatment. Case reports, reviews, opinion articles, or technique notes were excluded based on the abstract. Twenty-six articles included in this review were then studied to establish the index in suggesting the surgical treatment of GCTB. RESULTS The patient's gender, their age, the Campanacci grade of their tumor, and the type of surgery they had were not significantly associated with the local recurrence rate. Local recurrences seemed to be associated with the site of the tumor, occurring more frequently in the proximal femur or distal radius. A pathological fracture was not a contraindication for intralesional curettage. Treatment with denosumab did not decrease the local recurrence rate in patients who had been treated with curettage. CONCLUSION The current literature seems to suggest that the ideal treatment for GCTB is to remove the tumor while preserving as much of the joint as possible. Local recurrent tumors can be treated with curettage to keep the re-recurrence rate within an acceptable limit. The choice for how to treat GCTB in the proximal femur or distal radius requires special attention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the reasons for revision of total ankle replacement (TAR) implants is loosening due to subchondral cysts. Reconstruction and fusion of the ankle is often the first choice for revision procedures due to the large bone defects, which are typically filled with autograft and/or allograft. Filling the defect with a trabecular metal tantalum implant is a potential alternative given the biomechanical properties of this component. HYPOTHESIS Using tantalum as a spacer provides primary stability and contributes to fusion of the ankle joint after removal of failed TAR implants. METHODS Eleven patients underwent arthrodesis an average of 6.9 years after TAR. The mean height of the bone defect was 32mm. It was filled with a specially designed quadrangular implant (Trabecular Metal™, Zimmer/Biomet) combined with an iliac crest graft. Ten patients underwent tibio-talo-calcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis fixed with an angled retrograde nail and one patient underwent talocrural arthrodesis fixed with two plates (anterolateral and anteromedial). The clinical, functional (AOFAS and SF36 scores) and radiological (plain X-rays and CT scan) outcomes were determined. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 19.3 months, the mean total AOFAS score was 56 (21-78) and the mean SF36 score was 60.5 (19-84). One patient was lost to follow-up and four patients still had pain. The tantalum implant was integrated in six patients. Five patients achieved fusion of the subtalar joint and 8 achieved fusion of the talocrural joint. Three patients required surgical revision. DISCUSSION Our hypothesis was not confirmed. The clinical outcomes after more than 1 year of follow-up are disappointing, as was the large number of nonunion cases and the lack of tantalum integration. These technical failures can be explained by insufficient construct stability and/or insufficient implant porosity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV (retrospective cohort study).

Abstract
The problem of replacement of large bone defects resulting from segmental bone resections in patients with bone tumors is still actual in modern orthopedics. Segmental defects cause the main difficulty especially in cases of disturbance of normal biomechanics while the “gold standard” of reconstruction with bone autograft is not always possible. The reason is that the defect can be so extensive that would make it impossible to harvest necessary autobone stock. Therefore, allografts based on demineralized bone with optimal properties for osteoregeneration are used as an alternative for autograft. For certain composite materials it is possible to program the properties of future graft by changing its compound. Literature analysis revealed that the effectiveness of the allograft in combination with additional components is comparable to autograft effectiveness. Mesenchymal stem cells of both bone marrow and adipose tissue can be used as an additional component to improve osteoregeneration. It is noteworthy that the analyzed studies did not reveal the influence of stem cells on the tumor recurrence. Nevertheless, the authors support the need of further researches in this area to confirm gained results. Some authors still prefer traditional methods of bone traction despite obtaining own satisfactory results of defects reconstruction with allografts. Such opinion is based on proven effectiveness of the method, structural stability of construction during treatment period and ability to adjust the process of bone regeneration at any stage. The authors goal was to analyze publications over the recent 5 years with the results of experiments and clinical studies on the replacement of large bone defects after bone tumor resection with autoand allografts. Based on the literature analysis the authors propose a general algorithm for graft selection in replacement of large bone defects after segmental bone resections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastases to the proximal femur are usually managed surgically by tumor resection and reconstruction with an endoprosthesis, or by fixation with osteosynthesis. Still controversy remains regarding the most appropriate surgical treatment. We posed the following questions: (1) Is the frequency of surgical revision greater in patients treated with internal fixation than endoprosthetic reconstruction, and (2) Do complications that do not require surgery occur more frequently in patients treated with internal fixation rather than in those with endoprosthetic reconstruction? MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review was performed of those studies reporting on surgical revision and complication rates comparing the two surgical methods. Ten studies including 1107 patients met the inclusion criteria, three with high methodological quality, three intermediate, and four with lowquality, according to the STROBE guidelines. RESULTS At present, prosthetic dislocation is the most common complication observed in patients managed by prosthesis replacement of the proximal femur, while loosening was the main cause of reoperation in the fixation group. Time to reintervention ranged from 3 to 11.6 months for the prosthetic replacement and from 7.8 to 22.3 months for the fixation group. Non surgical complications, (mainly dislocations and infections) were more commonly observed in patients operated on by prosthetic replacement. CONCLUSIONS Implant related complications and surgery-related morbidity should be taken into account in the decision-making process for the surgical management of these patients. These data can improve the surgeon-patient communication and guide further studies on patients' survival and complications with respect to surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carbon fiber reinforced (CFR) implants have been proposed for the treatment of fractures or impending fractures of the long bones in the oncology patient. Aim of this study is to present the largest cohort of oncology patients operated by CFR nailing by the Italian Orthopaedic Society (SIOT) Bone Metastasis Study Group. METHODS 53 adult oncology patients were operated on with a CFR-PEEK nail. All the data from adjuvants therapies were collected. Bone callus formation, response to radiotherapy, relapse or progression of the osteolysis were recorded. Hardware survival and failure, breakage and need for implant revision were also analysed. RESULTS Anatomical implantation of nails include humerus (n = 35), femur (n =11) and tibia (n = 7). The most frequent tumors affecting the bone were myeloma (n = 13), breast (n = 11), lung (n = 8), and renal cell cancer (n = 7). Acrylic cement reinforcement was used in 2 patients. One patient was subjected to electrochemotherapy after nail insertion. Intraoperative and early postoperative complications occurred in 13.2% and 7.54% of patients respectively. Eight patients had local progression and one developed a stress fracture proximally to the distal static screw. Radiographic union occurred in 14 patients; one screw loosening was recorded. DISCUSSION There is currently a lack of solid evidence on the clinical use of CFR nails in oncologic patients. This is the first and largest study of CFR nailing, with the longest available follow up. CONCLUSIONS Implant related complications and surgery-related morbidity should be taken into account in the decision-making process for the surgical management of these patients. These data can improve the surgeon-patient communication and guide further studies on patients' survival and complications with respect to surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The treatment of giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone remains controversial. Intralesional surgery (curettage) results in a higher rate of local recurrence, but better functional results compared to resection. The aim of this study was to assess whether the use of curettage was successful in the treatment of GCT of long bones. We evaluated the influence of adjuvant treatment, local tumor presentation, and demographic factors on the risk of recurrence. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients treated for GCT of long bones between 1990 and 2013, using curettage. No patient had any treatment other than surgery. After detailed curettage, the bone cavity was filled with bone allografts and/or cement. Recurrence rates, risk factors for recurrence and the development of pulmonary metastases were determined. The minimum follow-up was 24 months. RESULTS We enrolled 210 patients with GCT of long bones treated by curettage. The rate of local recurrence was 16.2% (34/210 patients). The median follow-up was 89.2 months. In the multivariate analysis, no significant statistical effect on the local recurrence rate could be identified for gender, patient's age, Campanacci's grading, or cement versus bone allografts. The only independent risk factor related to the local recurrence was the site, with a statistically significant higher risk for patients with GCT of the proximal femur. CONCLUSIONS Our observation on the correlation of tumor location and risk of local recurrence is new. We suggest that patients with GCT of bone in the proximal femur should be followed closely soon after surgery to identify any possible recurrence.

Abstract
Most of tumours of the foot are tumour-like (synovial cyst, foreign body reactions and epidermal inclusion cyst) or benign conditions (tenosynovial giant cells tumours, planta fibromatosis). Malignant tumours of the soft-tissue and skeleton are very rare in the foot and their diagnosis is often delayed with referral to specialised teams after initial inappropriate procedures or unplanned excisions. The adverse effect of these misdiagnosed tumours is the increasing rate of amputation or local recurrences in the involved patients. In every lump, imaging should be discussed before any local treatment. Every lesion which is not an obvious synovial cyst or plantar fibromatosis should have a biopsy performed. After the age of 40 years, chondrosarcoma is the most usual malignant tumour of the foot. In young patients bone tumours such as osteosarcoma or Ewing’s sarcoma, are very unusually located in the foot. Synovial sarcoma is the most frequent histological diagnosis in soft tissues. Epithelioid sarcoma or clear cell sarcoma, involve more frequently the foot and ankle than other sites. The classic local treatment of malignant conditions of the foot and ankle was below-knee amputation at different levels. Nowadays, with the development of adjuvant therapies, some patients may benefit from conservative surgery or partial amputation after multidisciplinary team discussions. The prognosis of foot malignancy is not different from that at other locations, except perhaps in chondrosarcoma, which seems to be less aggressive in the foot. The anatomy of the foot is very complex with many bony and soft tissue structures in a relatively small space making large resections and conservative treatments difficult to achieve.
