What this Trial Is About
This trial studies the development of patient-specific computational walking models to improve the surgical planning and rehabilitation treatment of patients with pelvic sarcomas. Every pelvis and pelvic sarcoma are different, and the orthopedic oncologist faces significant challenges when removing a tumor from the complex anatomy of the pelvis. These challenges make it difficult to achieve excellent oncological and functional outcomes together. Computational walking models may be used to predict the best combination of surgical methods and how to implement them to maximize each patient's post-surgery walking function.

- Relevant surgery, procedure, injury, or condition in the last two years which may affect hip pain or general movement patterns on either side (prospective patients only)
- Pregnant women or women nursing an infant
- Persons with pacemakers, hearing aids, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves, or other loose metal implants as assessed by pre-MRI questionnaire
- Radiological exclusion based on preliminary MRI showing fracture, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, masses, lesions, or anomalies not consistent with FAI diagnosis
