Patients Regularly Return to Medium- and Low-Impact Types of Sporting Activities Following Distal Femoral or Proximal Tibial Replacement After Resection of a Primary Bone Sarcoma
Little is known about the resumption of sporting activities following megaprosthetic reconstruction of the distal femur and proximal tibia after resection of a bone sarcoma.
