Abstract
Background: One of the most common bone cancer affecting the paediatric population and adolescents is Ewing’s sarcoma. Hence; we planned the present study to carry out follow-up assessment of patients undergoing surgical treatment of Ewing’s sarcoma. Materials & Methods: We planned the present retrospective study on 25 patients with Ewing’s sarcoma of the bone, who underwent surgical treatment for the same. We recorded the complete radiographic investigation details of all the patients from their respective record files. Surgical intervention included resection followed by intercalary reconstruction. Detailed radiographic records of all the patients were obtained on follow-up at different time intervals. All the records were assessed by SPSS software. Results: ES was present at the extremeties in 24 patients while in a single case, ES was present in the axial location. Deep wound infection was present in single patients while superficial wound infection was present in 2 patients on follow-up. Local recurrence was seen in 1 patient. Recurrence with distant metastasis was found to be present in 1 patient. Implant failure occurred in 1 patient. Conclusion: Improvement in the prognosis of patients with ES occurs in patients when adequate adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are used.
