Delayed Reconstruction by Total Calcaneal Allograft following Calcanectomy: Is It an Option?
Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016 Many options are available in literature for the management of delayed reconstruction following calcanectomy. In cases of low-grade tumor lesions, conservative surgery can be considered. We describe a case of delayed reconstruction by calcaneal allograft
