Functional and Oncological Outcome of Patients with Distal Femoral Osteosarcoma Managed by Limb Salvage Using Modular Endoprosthesis.

This study showed that patients with osteosarcoma distal femur who are treated by chemotherapy and limb salvage have an excellent long-term prognosis in terms of patient as well as limb survivorship. The use of modular endoprosthesis in these patients offer an acceptable function, with two-thirds of the patients retaining their prosthesis after 5 years and more than half retaining them after 10 years.
