From 1972 to 1990,121 cases of bone tumor were treated by segmental resection of tumor and followed by artifical joint re- placement. All of the prostheses were designed and manufactured by our hospital. One hundred and two cases were followed up for an average of 7.4 years and the curative rate with the affected limbs preserved was 85.28%. The indication, the advantages and disadvantages, the material and the type of artifical joints, and the assessment of functional reconstruction following operation were discussed.
