A detailed analysis of the evaluation, anatomic staging of the knee, shoulder, pelvis and hip are reviewed. Recent experience treatment of pathological fractures, by means of limb-sparing surgery, are shown. We review 105 cases of limb-sparing surgery with endoprosthetic replacement and adjuvant chemotherapy as the basis of this study.
