Overview

Systematic review evaluates rehabilitation protocols and functional outcomes in patients with bone tumours, highlighting early mobilisation's impact.

Key Points

  • Enhanced functional outcomes occur with early mobilisation, not linked to increased joint dislocation risk.
  • Analysis included 13 studies, reflecting data from 371 patients with an average postoperative follow-up of about 42 months.
  • Rehabilitation protocols for proximal humerus resection showed a mean dislocation rate of 14.5%, while femur protocols reported 10%.
  • The overall methodological quality of studies was modest, with only 10 of 13 meeting at least half of the quality criteria.
