Functional Abilities Following Limb‐Salvage Procedures

The majority of patients undergoing limb-salvage procedures for the treatment of musculoskeletal tumors have demonstrated good to excellent function at a 1-year follow-up study at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Sixty-two patients having surgery for the treatment of sarcomas were evaluated at 2-month intervals and rated according to symptoms, range of motion, strength, functional abilities in relationship to the activities of daily living, and ambulation and transfer techniques. Potential alterations in mobility and function are directly related to the extent of surgical resection, state of health before surgery, and psychologic status before and after surgery. Nursing interventions can help enhance the patient's ultimate functional result. However, despite the potentially good to excellent results in a majority of patients, complications can result and impair function. The maximum result is normally achieved at about 1 year after surgery.
