Long-term functional and quality of life outcomes after cementless minimally invasive extendable endoprosthesis replacement in skeletally immature patients with bone sarcomas at the lower limb
Extendable endoprostheses were associated with a high complication rate and need for additional surgeries over time, especially for structural-related complications. Despite this, successful limb salvage with reasonable function/quality of life and small limb-length discrepancy were achievable in the long term. Patients' function in the long term depended on the experience of postoperative complications and limb-length discrepancy.
