Reconstructive Considerations for Limb Salvage Surgery

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1993
Tumors in the musculoskeletal system are generally treated surgically, although radiation therapy and chemotherapy have greatly improved survival statistics of patients with high-grade sarcomas of the musculoskeletal system. The mainstay in treatment of nearly every primary tumor of the musculoskeletal system is surgical resection for cure.

Limb salvage surgery for calcaneal malignancy

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2010
AbstractBackgroundAdvances in oncologic treatment modalities and wide resection have made limb salvage procedures in calcaneal malignancy increasingly possible. However, reconstructions of the calcaneal remain a major surgical challenge because of the rarity and specific anatomy of this condition.Methodswe retrospectively reviewed five patients who had

Limb Salvage Surgery With Vascular Reconstruction

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
Vascular reconstruction and limb salvage surgery has been the authors' preferred approach when malignancy involves major vessels of the extremities. Treatment of 16 patients involved resection, with vascular grafting in 14 patients and rotationplasty in two patients.

Limb Salvage Through Small-Vessel Surgery

Archives of Surgery, 1961
Introduction William Stewart Halsted, 9 speaking in another context, stated, "One of the chief fascinations of surgery is the management of wounded vessels...." Until recently, a frequent sequela to almost any serious injury of a major artery was loss of the extremity.

Limb-salvage reconstruction following resection of pelvic bone sarcomas involving the acetabulum.

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2021
AIMS Limb salvage for pelvic sarcomas involving the acetabulum is a major surgical challenge. There remains no consensus about what is the optimum type of reconstruction after resection of the tumour.

Long‐term patient‐reported outcome measures following limb salvage with complex reconstruction or amputation in the treatment of upper extremity sarcoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2021
This study compares long‐term patient‐reported outcomes between patients that underwent limb‐salvage surgery with complex reconstruction by free or pedicled flap (LS) or amputation. Additionally, the need for revision surgery is compared.

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 ...

Limb‐salvage surgery with vascular reconstruction after lower extremity sarcoma resection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Microsurgery, 2020
Limb‐salvage surgery with vascular reconstruction is the current standard treatment when sarcoma involves major vessels of the lower extremity. However, the low incidence of sarcoma and rarity of limb‐salvage surgery are limiting factors for the reliable
