Core Tip
Core Tip: Ewing’s sarcoma is an uncommon primary malignant bone tumor, and its treatment is a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. Beyond survival, current treatment also focuses on functional preservation and cosmetic appearance. This 9-year follow-up case illustrates the complete treatment course from resection to reconstruction and rehabilitation for Ewing’s sarcoma, which demonstrates a complete clinical picture for pediatric specialist and pediatric surgeons dealing with complex tumor surgery. The patient not only achieved complete remission, but also had good functional outcomes with limb salvage.
