A 26-year-old male patient with an Ewing sarcoma in the middle part of the right femur. a Radiograph showed a lytic lesion in the diaphysial region of the right femur. b MRI showed the lesion was about 8 cm. c A 12-cm segmental bone was resected, the soft tissue was removed, and the structural bone and the periosteum were preserved for divitalization. d Radiograph 2 weeks after the reconstruction showed that the devitalized bone fit the defect perfectly. e Continuous callus at the proximal junction and a perfect union at the distal junction were observed 8 months after the reconstruction
