【 摘 要 】

Abstract Background Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in adults and is usually located in the long bones. Standard treatment consists of perioperative chemotherapy and radical surgical resection. Limb-sparing surgery using a variety of reconstructive techniques remains the gold standard. Methods In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 90 adult patients operated at our institution between 2000 and 2017 for extremity osteosarcoma that underwent limb-sparing reconstruction with the megaprosthesis. Sixty-one patients underwent resection and reconstruction of the distal femur, 9 patients—proximal femur, 7 patients—proximal tibia, 5 patients—total femoral resection and reconstruction, 5 patients—proximal humeral resection, and 3 patients—other types of resection with endoprosthetic reconstruction. The median follow-up time was 41 months, median overall survival was 86 months (3–225 months), and progression-free survival was 81 months (1–86 months). Functional assessment was made on 48 out of 56 living patients, after endoprosthetic reconstruction. The assessment was made according to MSTS functional scale. Results In 14 cases (15%), the endoprosthesis had to be explanted, or amputation was performed for local recurrence or septic complication. Due to a mechanical failure of the implant, we had to perform a revision in 5 patients (5%). Eighteen out of 74 patients with endoprosthesis died of the disease. The median MSTS score was 84% (53–100%), and the best result of 85% was achieved in patients after distal femoral resection with endoprosthetic reconstruction. Conclusion Careful planning of the treatment of patients with extremity osteosarcoma that is performed at the referral centers gives the possibility of long-term survival with a good and excellent functional result.
