Chondrosarcoma of the Proximal Portion of the Femur Treated by Resection and Bone Replacement

A Six-Year Result

Vernon P. Thompson M.D.1 and Clair T. Steggall M.D.1

The case reported shows that time may leave an extremely narrow margin of safety in a presumably resectable malignant lesion. It demonstrates that the biopsy field must be regarded as part of the tumor area and that the surgeon can hardly be too generous in allowing a "safe" margin of resection. The response to the autoclaved autogenous bone graft compared favorably with that obtained with fresh autogenous bone.
