Total Quadriceps Resection in High-Grade Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Thigh: Surgical Technique and Long-Term Functional Outcomes in Surviving Patients

Total quadricectomy for high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas of the anterior thigh compartment ensures wide resection margins and local disease control, although local wound complications are common, particularly in older patients. Resection appears to be technically easier if performed distally to proximally in the thigh. Local muscle transfers are more suited for low-demand patients, while neurotized free muscle flaps are mainly an option for young, motivated patients.

Abstract

Total quadricectomy for high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas of the anterior thigh compartment ensures wide resection margins and local disease control, although local wound complications are common, particularly in older patients. Resection appears to be technically easier if performed distally to proximally in the thigh. Local muscle transfers are more suited for low-demand patients, while neurotized free muscle flaps are mainly an option for young, motivated patients.
