Abstract

Adamantinoma is a malignant tumor that usually presents in adult men between 20 and 50 years. Due to its metastatic potential, differentiating Adamantinoma from Osteofibrous dysplasia is essential as treatment varies greatly. We present a case of limb salvage using a free microvascularized fibula transplant and hemi-tibia allograft.
