Idiopathic osteolysis is a rare disorder characterized by spontaneous, massive and progressive resorption of bone tissue. Massive osteolysis results from proliferation of blood and lymphatic vessels with thin walls, resembling capillaries, in the bone and surrounding soft tissues. Literature review on this problem and clinical case of a patient successfully operated on using the technique elaborated at our clinic are presented.

Possibility of the performance of reconstructive surgical interventions for the restoration of limb weight bearing ability that is reasonable to combine with bisphosphonate therapy.
