Background:

Primary bone sarcoma treatment has seen significant advancements in the last two decades.
Traditional treatment often involved amputation, impacting patient quality of life.

Observation:

Limb salvage surgery offers an alternative to amputation, preserving limb function.
Multiagent chemotherapy regimens have been developed and refined.

Findings:

Limb salvage surgery provides comparable cure rates to amputation with improved quality of life.
Ongoing improvements in surgical techniques and reconstruction durability are noted.
Chemotherapy has markedly enhanced long-term survival outcomes, particularly in pediatric cases.
