Skeletal Reconstruction After Bone Sarcoma Resection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bone Sarcoma

Part of the book series: MD Anderson Cancer Care Series ((MDCCS))

Chapter Overview

The majority of patients with sarcomas of bone can be treated successfully with a limb-sparing surgery. Amputations are relatively uncommon. In most patients, a functional limb can be restored with a careful reconstruction. A variety of reconstructive options are now available. These include endoprostheses, allografts, allograft–prosthesis composite reconstructions, and autografts. The most effective use of the different techniques takes into account a number of factors, including the anatomic site, patient characteristics, and individual patient needs.
