Abstract
Internal hemipelvectomy or innominatectomy is a preferred alternative to hindquarter amputation for malignant tumours of the pelvis. Various segments of the pelvis have been removed surgically leaving the lower limb with residual segments of the pelvis in treatment of such tumours. We herewith present a case of total innominatectomy, i.e. dis-articulation at the pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint for surgical clearance and treatment of a chondrosarcoma of the Innominate bone. The tumour extended from just in front of the sacroiliac joint to the ischium and warranted such a complete resection.
