    Summary

    Limb-salvage surgery offers a viable alternative to amputation for select osteosarcoma patients. This approach, combined with chemotherapy, achieved limb preservation in 11 extremity osteosarcoma cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Medical Oncology

    Background:

    • Amputation is the conventional treatment for extremity osteosarcoma.
    • En bloc resection allows for primary lesion eradication in select cases.
    • Combined modality treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery, is increasingly utilized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of limb-salvage procedures in patients with extremity osteosarcoma.
    • To assess the efficacy of combined preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy with limb-salvage surgery.
    • To identify suitable candidates for limb-sparing surgery in osteosarcoma treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 77 extremity osteosarcoma patients treated between 1963 and 1984.
    • Analysis of 46 patients who received combined treatment (chemotherapy and surgery) from 1968 to 1984.
    • Detailed reporting on 11 patients within the combined treatment group who underwent limb-salvage surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Limb-salvage surgery was performed on 11 carefully selected patients.
    • These patients were part of a larger cohort receiving combined preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy.
    • The study focuses on the outcomes of these limb-salvage procedures within the context of multimodal therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Limb-salvage surgery is a feasible option for selected patients with extremity osteosarcoma.
    • Combined chemotherapy and limb-salvage surgery can achieve successful treatment outcomes.
    • Careful patient selection is crucial for successful limb-sparing interventions in osteosarcoma.
