“…There were no cases of infections: two patients showed superficial wound-healing disturbance that resolved under conservative management. Functional outcome was assessed according to the MSTS score, including data on pain, function, emotion, hand position, manual dexterity and lifting ability [7,12,13]. Mean MSTS score for eight patients who had their limb salvaged was 80% (24 points).…”

“…Currently, limb salvage surgery is accepted as the gold standard in orthopaedic oncology and, following tumour resection, frequently involves limb reconstruction with an endoprosthesis [3,4]. Due to modern advances in chemotherapy, many patients with these and other malignant bone sarcomas will go on to have a relatively normal lifespan [1,2].…”
