Abstract

Tumors around the ankle can be either bone or soft tissue sarcomas. The aggressive nature of these tumors and the complex anatomy of the ankle mortice make for a challenging reconstructive ladder. We have explored four different histological tumors which required tailor made resection and reconstruction. All our patients had reasonably good functional outcomes.
