Abstract
In the surgical treatment of localized osteosarcoma of the extremities, limb-salvage procedures are currently used whenever wide surgical margins can be achieved [1–3]. The increased indications for conservative surgery in osteosarcoma rely mainly on accurate preoperative staging through diagnostic imaging tools and the use of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy [1,2].
