Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the curative effect of the treatment of reserving limb for patients with malignant bone tumor.
METHODS:Forty patients with bone neoplasms underwent the operation of reserving limbs. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy was given to all the patients before the operation. After the ablation of the tumor we used the artificial prosthetic replacement,tumor tissue deactivation and reimplant, variant bone and joint transplantation to reserve the limb.
RESULTS:All the patients were followed up. The average follow-up time was 34.8 months. Eight patients got complications. And the fineness rate was 72.5% according to functional evaluation standard of Enneking after surgical treatment of bone tumor.
CONCLUSION:The operation of reserving limb was an ideal method to cure the malignant bone tumor. The proper operative treatment with neoadjuvant chemo-therapy is helpful to extend the life of the patients and increase the quality of life.
