Data were segregated according to the excised and reconstructed anatomical location (proximal part of the femur, total femur, distal part of the femur, proximal part of the tibia) and were collated to assess modes of failure and functional outcomes of each reconstruction type for each anatomic location.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty articles met the inclusion criteria; all were Level-IV evidence, primarily consisting of small, retrospective case series. Infection was a primary mode of failure across all reconstruction types and locations, whereas allograft reconstructions were susceptible to structural failure as well. The rate of failure in the pediatric population correlated well with previously published results for adults. The incidence of subsequent amputation was lower in the pediatric population (5.2%) than has been reported in adults (9.5%) (p = 0.013). Meaningful growth of expandable metallic endoprostheses was reported in the literature, with an overall rate of leg-length discrepancy of 13.4% being noted at the time of the latest follow-up. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) questionnaire was the most consistently used outcome measure in the literature, with average scores ranging from 71.0% to 86.8%, depending on reconstruction type and anatomic location.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current state of the literature detailing the surgical and functional outcomes of segmental reconstruction for the treatment of pediatric bone tumors is limited to Level-IV evidence and is complicated by under-segregation of the data by age and anatomical location of the reconstruction.
