Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, deep-seated bone sarcomas that require large osseous resections continue to present resection and reconstructive challenges to musculoskeletal surgeons. METHODS: We describe our experience with computer navigation techniques combined with complex pelvic resections and limb-preserving surgeries. RESULTS: Computer-assisted navigation has shown promise in aiding in optimal preoperative planning and in providing more accurate and precise feedback during surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Computer-assisted navigation offers precise instrumentation, technology-oriented imaging systems, and powerful information processing, all of which can assist in decision making, preoperative planning, and surgical accuracy.
