Zusammenfassung:Between 1973 and 1983, 19 patients with sarcoma of the femur were treated by adjuvant chemotherapy, excision of the entire femur, and replacement by a total femoral prosthesis.

This limb-saving procedure permits rapid rehabilitation, prevents severe psychological problems, and improves the quality of life.
