Latest developments in limb-salvage surgery in osteosarcoma

Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2011
Limb-salvage surgery plays a major role in the management of patients with osteosarcoma. As prognosis improves, reconstructive options have come under greater scrutiny with regard to their durability and functionality. The advent of computer navigation-guided reconstruction is discussed in detail, along with methods by which resections can be performed

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 in the Excision of a Massive Fibromatosis

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Fibromatosis is a rare fibroproliferative disorder with a tendency for local infiltrative and destructive growth. Local recurrence is frequent, despite apparent complete resection after radical excision. We present a case of a 22-year-old woman with massive recurrent thoracic fibromatosis extending into the neck and impairing the function of her right ...

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 ...

Infection in limb salvage surgery for bone tumors

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 1995
The authors present a retrospective study of 66 infected cases in their series of limb salvage surgery performed from January 84 to August 92. Special emphasis was given to the alternative techniques of treatment in infection. In 85% of the cases healing was achieved, however removal of the implant and amputation are still frequent occurrences. Time to

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 ...
