    Summary

    Radical local surgery for bone tumors is effective when feasible, offering survival benefits comparable to ablative surgery. Advanced diagnostics and reconstructive techniques like bone grafting and endoprostheses improve limb function after tumor resection.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Skeletal Oncology

    Background:

    • Ablative surgery for bone tumors has historically been contrasted with limb-sparing radical local surgery.
    • The efficacy of each surgical approach, particularly concerning patient survival and limb function, requires clear definition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of ablative versus radical local surgery for bone tumors.
    • To highlight the role of modern reconstructive techniques in limb salvage surgery for bone tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing evidence comparing ablative surgery with radical local resection for bone tumors.
    • Analysis of diagnostic advancements in detecting skip lesions.
    • Assessment of reconstructive options including bone grafting and endoprosthetic replacement.

    Main Results:

    • No proven survival superiority of ablative surgery over radical local surgery for bone tumors.
    • Radical local resection is advantageous when anatomically feasible.
    • Advanced diagnostic methods minimize the impact of rare skip lesions on local surgery principles.
    • Various methods, including bone grafting and custom endoprostheses, effectively manage skeletal defects, preserving limb function.

    Conclusions:

    • Radical local surgery is a viable and often advantageous approach for bone tumors when anatomically possible.
    • Limb salvage is achievable even with extensive resections (e.g., shoulder girdle, hip area) using specialized reconstruction.
    • Tailored rehabilitative measures are crucial for optimizing outcomes after differentiated bone tumor surgery.
