This study evaluated limb-saving surgery for femur sarcoma using adjuvant chemotherapy and total femoral prostheses. The procedure offered good functional outcomes and improved quality of life for patients with this bone cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Femur sarcoma presents a significant challenge in limb preservation.
  • Traditional treatments may lead to amputation and reduced quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of a limb-saving procedure for femur sarcoma.
  • To evaluate functional outcomes and survival rates following surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy followed by complete femur excision.
  • Reconstruction using a total femoral prosthesis.
  • Evaluation of functional results and patient survival.

Main Results:

  • Good to excellent functional results were achieved in 14 out of 19 patients.

  • Seven patients achieved disease-free survival.
  • The procedure facilitated rapid rehabilitation and improved quality of life.

    • Conclusions:

    • Limb-saving surgery with total femoral prostheses is a viable option for femur sarcoma.
    • This approach enhances patient recovery and psychological well-being.
    • The treatment strategy offers a balance between oncological control and functional preservation.
