Sarcomas are rare cancers that affect bone and soft tissue. Due to their rarity, a diagnosis of sarcoma can be difficult to navigate and the impact on individuals and families are far reaching. The goal of this podcast is to improve sarcoma education for patients, friends, families and trainees. Our goal is to shed light on the diagnostic workup, treatment and follow up process for patients diagnosed with sarcoma or other tumors of bone and soft tissue treated by orthopedic oncologists.
Episode 41: Reconstructive options, Limb salvage in the Uper Extremity
In Episode 38, we discussed reconstructive options for the lower extremity. Similar considerations exist for the upper extremity. The upper extremity, although not used for weight bearing and ambulation, is very important for human activities of daily living. In this episode we discuss the challenges and considerations for reconstructing tumors of the upper extremity.
