Resection of a Periosteal Osteosarcoma and Reconstruction Using the Ilizarov Technique of Segmental TransportFrom the Orthopaedic Department, University Hospital Pellenberg, Leuven, Belgium Correspondence: Dr J. Lammens, Orthopaedic Department, UZ Pellenberg, Weligerveld 1, 3212 Pellenberg, Belgium. The reconstruction of a large diaphyseal bone defect is a surgical challenge. Autologous bone grafts are usually insufficient to bridge the gap and allografts are prone to infection and may pose problems with internal fixation. Another solution is presented for the reconstruction of a large ulnar defect due to tumour resection, using the Ilizarov technique of segmental transport.
