Abstract 

One patient with osteosarcoma and one with Ewing’s sarcoma of the femur were in 1987 and 1988 treated with prosthetic replacement of the femur and chemotherapy. There has been no loosening of the prostheses and no recurrence of the tumor. The patients have maintained 60% and 63% limb function scores evaluated by ISOLS criteria.

Résumé 

Deux patients, l’un avec un ostéosarcome, l’autre avec un sarcome d’EWING, furent opérés en 1987–1988 avec remplacement prothétique du fémur, associéà une chimiothérapie. Ces patients ont été suivis sans qu’il soit noté de récidive. Il n’y a pas de descellement, ni de luxation de la prothèse. Un score fonctionnel évalué selon les critères de l’ISOLS, montre une conservation de 60% et 63% de la fonction du membre inférieur.
