High preoperative activity levels of young patients with bone sarcomas must be considered in tumour orthopaedics. Limitations on sports activities have a significant negative impact on the quality of life and mental health of such patients. Therefore, tumour orthopaedic treatment has to focus on preserving an improvement in these factors. The overall existing evidence concerning this issue is weak. Additional studies to evaluate the ability to return to specific sports activities are desirable, as well as prospective interventional studies.
