Abstract

Most malignant bone tumors are located in the metaphysis of the long bones, near to the growth plate. If the joint is preserved when a tumor is resected, the results in terms of future limb function are better. The growth plate can represent a barrier to tumoral spread. We describe the Cañadell technique, which can be of benefit to patients with metaphyseal tumors but whose physis is free from malignant cells, and which is based on epiphysiolysis by physeal distraction. Two prerequisites for Cañadell’s technique are that the physis is unequivocally open and that the physis has not been invaded by the tumor.
