BACKGROUND/AIM: At our institute, we prioritize joint-preservation whenever possible in cases of musculoskeletal knee sarcoma. This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction after joint-preservation surgery using different scales.
Surveys were mailed to 62 patients with musculoskeletal knee sarcoma. We analyzed the responders' data based on the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), and three component scores (physical, mental, and role/social) of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey according to whether they belonged to patients in the joint-preservation or in the joint-replacement groups.
The survey response rate was 67.7%. MSTS and TESS scores were higher in the patients in the joint-preservation group than in the joint-replacement group, although the differences lacked statistical significance.
Better physical outcomes improve patient satisfaction, as demonstrated by the high satisfaction in the group with joint-preservation.
背景/目的：在我们研究所，对于肌肉骨骼膝关节肉瘤病例，我们尽可能优先考虑保留关节。本研究旨在使用不同量表评估保留关节手术后患者的满意度。
向62例肌肉骨骼膝关节肉瘤患者邮寄了调查问卷。我们根据肌肉骨骼肿瘤学会（MSTS）评分、多伦多肢体挽救评分（TESS）以及36项简明健康调查问卷的三个组成部分评分（身体、心理和角色/社会），对属于保留关节组或关节置换组的患者的回复者数据进行了分析。
调查回复率为67.7%。保留关节组患者的MSTS和TESS评分高于关节置换组患者，尽管差异无统计学意义。
如保留关节组的高满意度所示，更好的身体结局可提高患者满意度。
