Complete Femoral Nerve Resection with Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Functional Outcomes
2010
Background
The functional consequences of resecting the femoral nerve in conjunction with soft tissue sarcoma management are not well described. In comparison, sciatic nerve involvement by sarcoma was once considered an indication for amputation, but sciatic resection is now commonly performed as part of a limb-salvage approach. We compared functional outcomes following resection of either the femoral or sciatic nerve in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. We also compared both groups with patients with large thigh sarcomas without nerve involvement.
