Contemporary surgical management of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma.

The incidence of malignant bone tumors has remained relatively stable over the past two decades between 8% and 9% per 1,000,000 in North America. Multidisciplinary treatment is paramount for optimal care combining surgical resection, chemotherapy, and rehabilitation. Surgical treatment aims for a negative margin resection of the sarcoma with a personalized reconstruction plan. Limb salvage surgery (LSS) is possible in the majority of cases; however, amputation (including rotationplasty) may be required or preferred. Reconstruction can be achieved utilizing endoprostheses, allograft, autograft, or a combination of these techniques. Emerging technologies such as 3D printing of implants and cutting guides, and intraoperative navigation have helped to improve options for LSS.
