UNAMPUTATED TREATMENT FOR MALIGNANT BONE TUMOR AT LIMBS WITH INTERNAL RESECTION, CURETTAGE AND DEACTIVATION

A new operating programme was designed by us, based on keeping the whole limb in 1988. A successful operation on one patient with this new method was achieved on Dec. 17 in the same year at the First Teaching Hospital, Xi'an Medical Nniversity. Firstly, the internal tumor tissue was resected and curstted thoroughly, and the osseous shell was kept to attach to the normal bone tissue. Then, a plastic bag was used to encase the osseous shell in, deactivation was done with 95 per cent alcohol. the remainder osseous shell was used as a support, a pulp canal steel needle was inserted into it, and the bone cement was filled up in. In this way, a " prosthesis" in pulp canal was formed, which was not only firm, reliable, less expensive convenient for drawing material, and satisfactory for achieving the goal of treating the tumor and keeping the limb, but also easy to move for the patient and to recover the function of the limb rapidly after operation because of not amputating the normal bone tissue and partly keeping the continuity of it. Now 25 cases have been treated with this new method, and in 90 per cent patients, the limbs have been preserved.
