Assessment of Healing and Function After Surgical Reconstruction for Neoplasms Involving Bone
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
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
- BehavioralToronto 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.
