| Core Tip |
Postoperative pathologic fractures are an underrecognized late complication following limb-sparing surgery for lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS). In this retrospective cohort of 266 patients with long-term follow-up, fractures occurred predominantly in the femur and often several years after treatment. Partial bone resection and osteoporosis were independently associated with increased fracture risk, whereas radiotherapy showed an elevated but not statistically significant association. These findings underscore the importance of long-term surveillance and careful risk stratification in patients undergoing limb-sparing management for STS. |
