The average age was 9.4 \u00b1 2.8 years (range, 5-14), and the pathological type included osteosarcoma (25) and Ewing sarcoma (4).

The 2-year and 5-year revision-free survival for the VFET group and CPH group were 77%, 61%, 75%, and 37%, respectively. At the final follow-up, the mean MSTS-93 score in the VFET group was 82% (67%-97%), while the mean MSTS-93 score in the CPH group was 79% (73%-96%, p &gt; 0.05). The incidence of mechanical complications was significantly higher in the CPH group (88%, 7\/8) than that in the VFET group (52%, 11\/21) (p = 0.036). The mean difference in upper limb length in the VFET group was 5.0 \u00b1 2.9 cm and 10.2 \u00b1 4.2 cm in the CPH group (p = 0.003).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We suggest that vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer may be considered as a promising biological reconstruction option for pediatric patients with proximal humeral osteosarcoma who have a longer life expectancy.
