ABSTRACT
We retrospectively evaluated data of 25 patients with Osteosarcoma. These patients were treated by either limb salvage surgery with endoprosthetic reconstruction or limb amputation. We explore whether the complications , recurrences, metastasis and survival are the same or not between limb-salvage and amputation groups. We conclude that Limb-salvage surgery reduces the risk of relapse compared with amputation in the treatment of patients with osteosarcoma. The disease free survival and overall survival at 2 years follow up are significantly better after limb savage surgery as compared to limb amputation. Furthermore, there was no difference in the metastasis and complication rate in both the groups.
