From January 2002 to June 2008, 525 @entity5 were operated. Forty-two (8%) @entity5 were diaphyseal in origin. The age of the @entity1 ranged from two to 16 years. Femur was the most common site.After resection, various methods of reconstruction were adopted based on @entity5 site and availability of reconstruction options. Thirty-seven @entity1 were available for follow-up. Follow-up duration ranged from 4 months to 86 months (mean 38.3 months). Eight @entity1 succumbed to the disease. There were three local recurrences. The @entity85 Society Score ranged from 18 to 30 (mean 27). Joint-preserving intercalary resections are an oncologically safe option with gratifying functional results.
