    Summary

    This study analyzed 89 patients with upper extremity malignant tumors, finding a 28.6% survival rate after interscapular-thoracic amputations. Specialized prostheses are recommended for patient rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Oncology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Malignant tumors of the upper extremities and shoulder girdle present significant treatment challenges.
    • Surgical intervention, often amputation, is frequently necessary for these conditions.
    • Effective rehabilitation strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes post-surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the treatment outcomes and prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with malignant tumors of the upper extremities and shoulder girdle.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of interscapular-thoracic amputations and subsequent prosthetic use.
    • To recommend improved orthotic and prosthetic devices for invalid rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of treatment results and prostheses in 89 patients diagnosed with various malignant tumors.
    • Surgical intervention involving interscapular-thoracic amputations in all cases.
    • Evaluation of patient survival rates and functional recovery using custom-developed orthoses and prostheses.

    Main Results:

    • The study included a diverse range of tumors such as osteogenous sarcomas, chondroid sarcomas, and others.
    • The overall survival rate for the cohort was 28.6 +/- 8.3%.
    • An orthosis and a modified prosthesis developed at the research institute of prostheses named after prof. G. Albrekht showed promise for rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Interscapular-thoracic amputation is a viable, albeit aggressive, treatment for malignant upper extremity tumors.
    • The overall survival rate highlights the severity of these malignancies.
    • The developed orthosis and modified prosthesis offer a potential pathway for improved functional rehabilitation and quality of life for affected individuals.
