ABSTRACT
Limb-saving therapy for primary bone tumours is the treatment of choice. We aimed at analysing the quality of life of this group of patients by combining three different tools. Thirteen patients with a primary bone tumour of the extremity, 5 patients with osteosarcoma of proximal tibia and 8 with osteosarcoma of distal femur who had undergone endoprosthetic reconstruction between 2017-2018 were included in this retrospective study. Parallel recording of the MSTS score, TESS and SF-36 provides a better measure reflecting the complex situation of the patients by combining objective and subjective parameters.
