Incidence, Predictive Factors, and Proposed Classification of Wound Complications in Pediatric Extremity Bone Sarcoma Patients Following Extirpative Surgery

Abstract

There is a limited understanding of postoperative wound complications in osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (ES) patients. Delays in adjuvant chemotherapy protocols due to such complications may significantly compromise overall survival rates. We aim to 1) report the incidence and contributing factors of wound complications following extremity extirpative surgery in OS and ES and 2) propose a clinically relevant wound classification scheme.
