Assessment of Healing and Function After Surgical Reconstruction for Neoplasms Involving Bone

Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the amount of function that returns in participants that have reconstruction with bone graft or artificial device and in participants who have tumor surgery plus regenerative osseous surgery. The study will look at the level of function for a period of 3 years after the surgery. Another purpose of this study is to look at how well the bone heals in participants undergoing regenerative surgery

Interventions

• Behavioral
  Toronto Extremity Salvage Score

  Participant-reported outcome score. For lower extremities, this is a 33 item questionnaire containing 32 5 point Likert scale items and 1 open ended response item. For upper extremities, this is a 31 item questionnaire containing 31 5 point Likert scale items and 1 open ended response item. Individual item responses range from 1-5 with higher values indicating a task is easier to complete. A total questionnaire score can also be calculated by taking the sum of the scores minus the number of total items answered, and dividing this by the maximum possible score based on the number of items answered. This results in a range from 0 -100% with higher values indicating greater ability to complete tasks 31. This scoring allows for the fact that some items may not be answered if they do not apply to an individual. It is anticipated that it will take 20 minutes to complete. Scores for the lower extremity and upper extremity may be combined, but we intend to treat them separately for analysis.

• Behavioral
  Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score

  Clinician-reported global score. For lower extremities, this is a 6 item questionnaire containing 6 point Likert scale items which cover pain, function, emotional acceptance, walking ability, gait, and necessary support. Individual item scores range from 0-5 with higher values indicating greater function, less pain, or more positive emotional acceptance. For upper extremities, this is a 6 item questionnaire containing 6 point Likert scale items which cover pain, function, emotional acceptance, hand positioning, manual dexterity, and lifting ability. Individual item scores range from 0-5 with higher values indicating greater function, less pain, or more positive emotional acceptance. A total questionnaire score which is defined as the sum of the individual items divided by the maximum possible score (5 times the number of items) may also be computed. It is represented as a percentage from 0 - 100%.
