Complex extremity sarcoma resection and reconstruction in 29 patients showed good limb function and local control. Tumor size predicted survival, with wider resection margins improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Extremity sarcomas pose significant challenges for limb salvage.
  • Complex surgical resection and reconstruction are often required.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate outcomes of complex reconstruction following extremity sarcoma resection.
  • To identify factors influencing survival and limb function.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 29 patients undergoing sarcoma resection and reconstruction (1980-1991).
  • Analysis of surgical procedures, complications, and oncological outcomes.
  • Assessment of limb function and survival rates.

Main Results:

  • No surgical mortality; one amputation due to complications.

  • 62% disease-free at median 23 months follow-up; 93% achieved local control.
  • Wider resection margins (>10 mm) improved local control; tumor size predicted overall survival.

    • Conclusions:

    • Complex reconstruction can achieve good limb function and local control in extremity sarcoma patients.
    • Achieving wide resection margins is crucial for local disease management.
    • Tumor size is a key prognostic factor for long-term survival.
