Assessment of Healing and Function After Surgical Reconstruction for Neoplasms Involving Bone

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the level of function and bone healing in participants who have undergone reconstructive surgery for bone neoplasms, including bone sarcomas. The study focuses on two groups: those receiving bone grafts or artificial devices and those having tumor surgery with regenerative osseous surgery. The purpose is to observe how well participants recover and how their bones heal over a period of three years after surgery. Participants are divided into two groups based on the type of reconstructive surgery they receive: regenerative osseous surgery or other reconstructive surgery for bone neoplasms. After surgery, study visits for post-operative assessments will occur annually starting after the 36-month mark. The study measures recovery and healing using various assessments including participant-reported and clinician-reported outcome scores, functional mobility tests, and imaging studies. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires like the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score to report and assess their function and pain levels. Functional tests such as the Timed Get Up and Go Test will be performed, along with diagnostic evaluations like orthogonal radiographs, weight bearing measurements for lower extremities, and range of motion assessments. These evaluations help researchers understand early and mid-term recovery at 1 and 3 years post-surgery. The total duration of participation aligns with a 3-year follow-up period.
