Comparison of clinical features, management and outcomes of osteosarcoma located in proximal fibula and proximal tibia: a propensity score matching analysis

Structured PICO

Does osteosarcoma location (proximal fibula vs proximal tibia) affect amputation rates and prognosis?

Amputation rates and prognosishard clinical

Osteosarcoma in the proximal fibula is associated with higher amputation rates and poorer prognosis compared to the proximal tibia.

Abstract

Amputation rates among patients were higher when osteosarcoma was located in proximal fibula than in proximal tibia. A smaller NBT for posterior tibial vessels was associated with higher amputation rates. Prognosis of the proximal fibula cohort was poorer than that of the proximal tibia cohort of osteosarcoma patients.
