Implication

Retrospective study evaluates survival and function in patients post upper extremity tumor resection, indicating positive outcomes with endoprosthetic reconstruction.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the survival of implants and overall patient survival, alongside functional outcomes after upper extremity tumor resections.
Retrospective clinical study included 90 patients who underwent resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction between 2011 and 2020.
Functional assessment was performed using Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores during outpatient follow-ups.
Analysis identified factors influencing implant and patient survival.
Implant survival rate was 91.1%, with eight failures observed due to aseptic loosening, infection, and tumor progression.
Overall patient survival rate was 58.8%, with limb survival rate at 97.7%.
Patients using synthetic meshes showed significantly improved mean MSTS scores (23.2) compared to those without (21.5, P = 0.005).
