Long-term Outcomes of Biological Reconstruction for Primary Bone Sarcoma of the Humerus.

Background/aim: Options for the reconstruction of bone defects following resection of primary bone sarcomas of the humerus include massive endoprostheses or biological reconstruction. We report the oncological, clinical, and functional outcomes in patients treated with biological reconstructions.

Patients And Methods: This study included 23 consecutive patients with primary bone sarcoma of humerus who underwent resection and biological reconstructions at a single institution.
