Abstract
Instability is a significant problem after resection of musculoskeletal tumors. In this article, the authors discuss the issue of instability after resections of the pelvis, the femur, and the proximal tibia. The options for reconstruction in each area are discussed along with a review of the literature and a description of the authors' preferred approach.
