Proximal Resection of the Fibula in the Treatment of Proximal Fibular Chondrosarcoma
Keyword(s):
Introduction: Chondrosarcoma includes several anatomoclinical forms of tumors with cartilaginous histogenesis.It is a malignant tumor whose tumor cells are associated with a cartilage matrix.Case report: We present the case of a patient with stage 1 chondrosarcoma of the proximal part of the left fibula.The patient underwent a proximal fibula resection with a favorable outcome.Conclusion: Resection of tumors of the proximal fibula may cause knee instability, peroneal palsy through involvement of the external popliteal sciatic nerve or with local radiotherapy, a higher risk of delayed healing and the occurrence of fracture. Despite the risks of resection of the proximal fibula, good functional results can be obtained.
