Update in orthopaedic oncology.
Orthopaedic oncology is a growing field with unanswered questions. Improvements in imaging have led to increases in limb salvage surgery. Chemotherapy is indicated in most bone sarcomas but varied agents are used. Newer surgical procedures such as an internal hemipelvectomy and resection using an expandable prothesis are currently being evaluated. Further research in all areas is indicated.
