pediatric patients with tumor-like lesions in femoral neck after epiphyseal closure;
pediatric patients with benign bone tumors and malignant bone tumors in the femoral neck after epiphyseal closure;
adult patients with benign or malignant bone tumors and tumor-like lesions in femoral neck.

Treatment and study plan

free nonvascularized fibula autograft

Procedure

Sixteen pediatric patients before epiphyseal closure were treated with free nonvascularized fibula autograft after resections of tumor-like lesions in the femoral neck between Aug. 2012 and Sep. 2016. All the patients were given supplementary skeletal traction through supracondyle of femur for 4 weeks to 6 weeks after the resections.

Primary outcomes
