Abstract: We present a case of an 8-year-old girl with a high grade osteogenic sarcoma of the proximal humerus treated with wide resection and vascularized proximal humerus treated with wide resection and vascularized proximal fibular epiphyseal transfer. At 5 years after reconstruction, the patient is tumor free and had a Musculoskeletal Tumor Score of 26/30 or 86.7%. The functional outcomes in terms of shoulder range of motion and pain were good. Complications include transient peroneal nerve palsy and mild valgus instability of the knee. (Authors)
