Between 1983 and 1996, 52 patients with primary bone neoplasms underwent limb salvage surgery using endoprostheses in 36 cases, internal hemipelvectomy in 6 cases, Tihoff-Lindberg arthroplasty in 9, and knee arthrodeses in 2 patients. 22 of 36 patients with an endoprostheses could walk without instability or pain. However, major complications occurred as local recurrence in 9 patients and deep infection in 5 patients which led to amputation in 2 patients. Good function was achieved in all patients that underwent hemipelvectomy, but the local recurrence rate was high. Good function was also achieved in patients who underwent a Tihoff-Lindberg procedure.Downloads
