Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor often requiring aggressive treatment.
  • Limb-salvage surgery aims to preserve limb function while removing the tumor.
  • Historically, amputation was the standard treatment for many osteosarcoma cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of limb-salvage surgery in osteosarcoma patients.
  • To assess survival rates, local recurrence, infection, and prosthetic complications.
  • To determine if limb-salvage procedures offer functional benefits compared to traditional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 104 osteosarcoma patients treated between 1974 and 1993.
  • Sixty patients underwent limb-salvage surgery.

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 44 patients with IIB stage tumors.

    • Main Results:

    • The five-year survival rate for patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was 46.69%.
    • The limb-salvage group experienced a 15% local recurrence rate.
    • Infection rate was 11.7%, and prosthetic mechanical complications occurred in 13.3% of cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Limb-salvage surgery is a feasible and effective treatment for osteosarcoma.
    • This surgical approach can lead to better functional outcomes for patients.
    • Careful patient selection and management are crucial for successful limb-salvage procedures.
