Outcomes over 30 years after megaprosthetic reconstruction of the lower limb following tumor resection: a retrospective case series of 10 patients

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate long-term outcomes and function preservation following megaprosthetic reconstruction after tumor resection.
• Retrospective case series analysis of 10 patients.
• Assessment of ambulatory function over 30 years post-surgery.
• Monitoring for late complications associated with the procedure.
• Patients maintained ambulatory function for over 30 years post-reconstruction.
• Frequent late complications were documented, indicating lifelong risks of the procedure.
• Survivors demonstrated effective function preservation despite potential complications.
