pubmed:abstractText |
Although limb salvage is possible for most extremity sarcomas, amputation has often been advocated as the treatment of choice for tumors involving the digits. The thumb poses a dilemma, however, because loss of its function can severely impair the use of the hand and entire upper limb. The authors report their experience with thumb reconstruction following wide excision of bone and soft-tissue tumors of the thumb.
