Abstract:

Cases: Two patients after complete removal of the lateral capsuloligamentous structures of the knee joint for soft tissue sarcomas were reconstructed using achilles tendon-bone-block allografts covered with gastrocnemius muscle flap and split skin. At 14, respectively 6 years follow-up both patients have fully functioning knees without limitations except moderately unsightly scars from the split skin.Conclusion: Reconstruction of collateral capsuloligamentous structures of the knee joint using achilles tendon allograft covered with gastrocnemius muscle flaps appears a valid option after tumor resection avoiding additional morbidity from autologous tendon harvesting.
