ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how patients recover after undergoing surgery to remove and reconstruct bones in the lower limbs due to bone tumors. The researchers want to understand how recovery differs based on which part of the leg was affected, looking specifically at the first six months after surgery. This information could help improve rehabilitation and support for patients in the future.

To participate in this trial, candidates must have had surgery on their lower limbs, such as the pelvis, femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), or foot, due to various types of bone tumors like osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma. Participants will be closely monitored during their recovery to track their progress and any challenges they face. It’s important to know that this study is open to all genders and ages, and it aims to ensure that each patient receives the appropriate care and rehabilitation they need during their recovery journey.
