few decades. Limb salvage surgery has become a standard practise without compromising the
oncological outcome. Patients generally will benefit with superior function and a better quality
of life compared with definitive amputation. The multidisciplinary approach and advancement of
surgeries are important to achieve patient survival and optimum function.
