Purpose. We investigated self-reported quality of life (QoL), body image and daily competence of patients as a consequence of limb salvage surgery (LSS), primary or secondary amputation, and the views of patients following secondary amputation.Patients. Patients (n=37) had all been treated for osteosarcoma or Ewing's sarcoma in the lower limb.Methods. QoL was measured by questionnaire. A separate interview to determine satisfaction with decision-making was conducted with those treated for secondary amputation.Results. For the total group, QoL was below that expected from population norms. There were no differences in QoL between those undergoing LSS surgery compared with amputation. However, LSS reported better daily competence and were less likely to use a walking aid. For the total group, body image and daily competence were associated with better QoL.Discussion. All these patients are at risk of compromised QoL following surgery. Our data are in line with previous work suggesting outcomes may be better for LSS compared with amputation. Following secondary amputation, most patients (80%) did not regret initial LSS treatment, but felt that the time gained allowed them to come to terms with subsequent surgery.

In orthopedic oncology, revisional surgery due to mechanical failure or local recurrence is not uncommon following limb salvage surgery using an endoprosthesis. However, due to the lack of clinical experience in limb salvage surgery using 3D-printed custom-made implants, there have been no reports of revision limb salvage surgery using a 3D-printed implant. Herein, we present two cases of representative revision limb salvage surgeries that utilized another 3D-printed custom-made implant while retaining the previous 3D-printed custom-made implant. A 3D-printed connector implant was used to connect the previous 3D-printed implant to the proximal ulna of a 40-year-old man and to the femur of a 69-year-old woman. The connector bodies for the two junctions of the previous implant and the remaining host bone were designed for the most functional position or angle by twisting or tilting. Using the previous 3D-printed implant as a taper, the 3D-printed connector was used to encase the outside of the previous implant. The gap between the previous implant and the new one was subsequently filled with bone cement. For both the upper and lower extremities, the 3D-printed connector showed stable reconstruction and excellent functional outcomes (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores of 87% and 100%, respectively) in the short-term follow-up. To retain the previous 3D-printed implant during revision limb salvage surgery, an additional 3D-printed implant may be a feasible surgical option.

Purpose.In all patients treated at the Centre for Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas of Aarhus the functional outcome is prospectively evaluated by use of the Enneking system for the functional evaluation after surgical treatment of tumours of the musculoskeletal system. This system has been accepted by the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society and the International Symposium on Limb Salvage.Patients/methods.In the present study the functional outcome after limb-salvage surgery (89 patients) and amputation (58 patients) was compared. In the limb-salvage group the treatment was surgery alone in 50% and surgery combined with either radiotherapy in 39% or chemotherapy in 11%. Inclusion criteria were: Deep seated extremity sarcomas, age >14 years, more than 1 year post-treatment follow-up time and alive at the end of the study. Median age was 49 years (range 14–88 years). Median tumour diameter was 8 cm (range 1–20 cm), median follow-up time was 4.8 years (range 1–11 years). Wilcoxon andχ2-tests were used for statistical analyses.Results.The two groups were comparable according to age, sex, size of tumour, type of tumour, location of tumour, as well as post-treatment follow-up time. The functional scores were significantly higher after limb-salvage surgery as compared to amputation, the median scores being 85 and 47, respectively (p<0.001). A similar difference was observed if the Enneking scores were subdivided into general health-related scores and extremity-related scores. No association was found between functional scores and the following factors by use of univariate analysis: size of tumour, radiation therapy, localization of tumour and surgical margin.Discussion.We conclude that this study indicates that limb-salvage surgery is associated with a better functional outcome than that observed after amputation. However, whether this also indicates a difference in quality of life needs further studies.
