Abstract
Internal hemipelvectomy involves the removal of the innominate bone, with adjacent muscles if involved, with preservation of the ipsilateral lower extremity. It is performed for malignant tumors arising in the innominate bone or involving it by direct extension. Obviously, the tumors requiring internal hemipelvectomy are less extensive than tumors in this area that require external hemipelvectomy.
