176P Clinical outcomes, implant survival, and complications of expandable endoprostheses for lower limb reconstruction in skeletally immature patients with bone sarcoma: A systematic review and single-cohort meta-analysis
Abstract
The management of malignant bone sarcomas in the lower extremities of skeletally immature children and adolescents represents one of the most complex challenges in orthopaedic oncology. Expandable endoprostheses, allowing for progressive lengthening of the implant to match the growth of the contralateral limb, have become more popular over the last decades, but scientific data is limited. This study will provide reliable data on functional outcome, complications and survival rates following this procedure.
