From: Successful correction of tibial bone deformity through multiple surgical procedures, liquid nitrogen-pretreated bone tumor autograft, three-dimensional external fixation, and internal fixation in a patient with primary osteosarcoma: a case report

Fig. 1

Pre- and postsurgical radiography of a patient with tibial osteosarcoma. a Anteroposterior radiograph taken at admission revealed an osteoblastic lesion on the left tibia. b Radiograph taken after the first surgery reveals that the frozen autograft was fixed and aligned well. c Radiograph taken 17 months after the first surgery shows a recurrent lesion on the surface of the frozen autograft. d Radiograph after the second surgery. e Radiograph taken 10 months after the second surgery shows a varus deformity with callus formation in the frozen autograft. Bone union with the grafted fibula had not been achieved. f Radiograph taken 5 years after the second surgery shows a varus deformity (19°), although union with the grafted fibula had been achieved. g Radiograph taken after the third surgery shows the osteotomy site in the frozen autograft and the partial correction of the deformity using the Taylor Spatial Frame. h Radiograph taken 9 months after the third surgery shows complete correction of the deformity and partial union of the osteotomy sites. i Radiograph taken after the fourth surgery shows fixation of the osteotomy site with a locking plate
