The authors report five cases of tumour of the distal tibia treated by resection and reconstruction by autoplastic grafting and tibiotarsal arthrodesis with fixation by a Kuntscher nail or a plate. This type of surgery is indicated for the treatment of benign tumours, aggressive pseudotumours (Enneking stage 3), or for Enneking stage 1A or 2A malignant tumours. Infection was the most frequent complication (2 out of 5 cases, both of which healed after surgical cleansing). The long-term functional results were good in all cases, and there was neither pseudoarthrosis nor recurrence.
