Limb salvage surgery has become the standard treatment for malignant primary bone tumors in the extremities. Limb salvage represents a challenge in skeletally immature patients. Several treatment options are available for limb reconstruction after tumor resection in children. We report our results using the technique of epiphyseal sparing and reconstruction with frozen autograft bone in 18 children. The mean follow-up period for the all patients included in this study is 72 ± 26 m. Eight patients remained disease-free, seven patients lived with no evidence of disease, two were alive but with disease, and one patient died of the disease. Five- and ten-year rates of survival were 94.4%. Graft survival at 5 and 10 years was 94.4%. Functional outcome using the Enneking scale was excellent in 17 patients (94.4%) and poor in one patient (5.5%). Complications include 2 nonunions, 2 fractures, 2 deep infections, 1 soft tissue recurrence, and leg length discrepancy in 7 cases. This technique is a good reconstructive choice in a child with a nonosteolytic primary or secondary bone tumor, responsive to chemotherapy, without involvement of the articular cartilage. It is a straight forward, effective, and biological technique, which affords immediate mobilization of joints and possible cryoimmune effects, with excellent long term functional outcome and less complication.

Limb salvage surgery is now the preferred procedure for bone tumor surgery. To decrease the risk of local recurrence, it is crucial to obtain adequate resection margins. The obtained margins must be evaluated postoperatively because they influence what treatment is given subsequently when margins are not adequate (e.g., surgical revision and radiotherapy). The study aims to evaluate margin assessment of tumor specimen by MRI compared to conventional histology (to establish the viability of using MRI) and assess the accuracy of a patient-specific instrument when narrow margins were aimed. The resection margins in 12 consecutive patients that were operated on for bone tumor resection were prospectively analyzed using three methods: MRI of the resection specimen, macroscopic evaluation of specimen slices, and microscopic pathological evaluation. The assessments were qualitative (R0, R1, and R2) and quantitative (distance in mm). MRI, macroscopic, and microscopic margins generated similar results for both the qualitative (all resections were R0) and quantitative assessments. The median error in safe margins was 2 mm with a surgical guide (PSI) and 5 mm without a surgical guide. Local recurrences were not detected after a mean follow-up period of 3.7 years (range, 2.1–5 years); however, four patients died during the study. In conclusion, MRI is a valuable tool for assessing safe margins. When specimens are not available for pathological assessment (e.g., extracorporeally irradiated autograft or autoclaved autograft), MRI could be used to evaluate margins. In particular, when tumor volume is high, MRI could also help to focus the pathological examination on areas of concern.

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.
