Abstract

Limb salvage surgery for bone tumours may vary from endoprosthesis to biological fixation. Endoprosthesis is good but expensive and durability is short. Especially in physically active individuals like our patients. Orthopaedic surgeons and scientists are still searching for substitutes for this purpose. We have performed liquid nitrogen-treated autograft as a bone filler for a patient with Ewing sarcoma of the right tibia. This treatment method has not been practised widely. This method is not expensive and reproducible. The patient recovered completely and started to weight bearing. A liquid nitrogen-treated autograft is an alternative option for patients with Ewing sarcoma. Anyway, long-term follow-up studies are mandatory to prove its efficacy compared to other treatment modalities. The procedure, outcome and complications are described in this case report.

Keywords: Ewing sarcoma, Bone loss, Liquid nitrogen, Frozen autograft, bone loss following tumour excision
