This research aims to investigate the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of osteosarcoma located in short bones.
Identified cases using the SEER database covering cancer cases from 2000 to 2020.
Collected demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of patients.
Performed univariate and multivariate regression analysis to examine survival predictors.
Primary short bone osteosarcoma constituted 2.2% of all osteosarcoma cases.
58.2% of patients received chemotherapy, while 4.5% underwent radiation therapy.
50.6% of surgical patients had limb-sparing procedures, with no significant survival difference compared to amputees.
Localized disease significantly correlated with better disease-specific survival.
