Limb salvage surgery for calcaneal malignancy

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2010

Functional outcomes in limb salvage vascular surgery

The American Journal of Surgery, 1994
The crisis in health care brings a new focus to defining successful outcomes of medical treatments. The surgical literature has been criticized for not assessing functional outcomes in addition to technical success.We evaluated the functional outcomes of limb salvage surgery over 3 years in 38 patients 65 years of age and older with limb-threatening ...

Limb Salvage Surgery for Osteosarcoma

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2007
Successful management of osteosarcoma with limb salvage surgery is a challenging problem in the developing world. We report our early results with low-cost chemotherapy (without methotrexate) and low-cost limb salvage surgery. We prospectively collected data for 135 patients with histologically proven high-grade osteosarcoma of the extremities given ...

Composite Tissue Transfer in Limb-Salvage Surgery

Archives of Surgery, 1991
After extensive resection due to extremity sarcoma, the inability to cover the defect for satisfactory healing and limb function has been an indication for amputation rather than limb salvage. We report herein our experience with seven limb-salvage cases in which we closed difficult and complex defects with composite tissue transfers utilizing ...

The Nursing Role in Limb Salvage Surgery

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1991
Limb salvage surgery has proven itself as a valuable option for sarcoma patients. The reconstruction options are vast and include metallic implants, allografts, and a combination of both. The nursing implications for these patients are unlimited. The patient needs to be educated and assessed closely for complications such as infections, nonunion of the
