Abstract
Background: Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor most commonly presenting in children and young adults. Osteosarcoma has a peak incidence occurring during the ages of 10-14 years old. The first peak of osteosarcoma correlates with the increased proliferation of bone during the pubertal growth period. Tumor develops from primitive mesenchymal stem cells and had tendency for appearing in bones with rapid growth plate. Symptoms of osteosarcoma may be present from weeks to months and most commonly, the presenting symptom is bone pain, particularly with activity. After clinical manifestation and correct diagnosis, the next step is treatment to remove the tumors with chemotherapy and surgery. Complete surgical excision is important to ensure an optimum outcome. The main surgical challenge in children is how to reconstruct the limb after removal of the tumor. Materials & Methods: Retrospective case reports analysis of patients treated for primary osteosarcoma in Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos. Results: In this review, we summarized treatment of osteosarcoma with focus on different methods of surgery and present two cases from the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos. Conclusion: The optimal choice of surgical reconstruction following extremity osteosarcoma resection in pediatric population remains an enigma. However, the use of patient-specific instruments show good functional outcomes and patient acceptance. If possible, tumor resection through the epiphyseal line should be performed, thus preserving the functi
