The earliest stages of osteosarcomas are primitive mesenchymal cells. It generally occurs close to the long bones' metaphysis and typically affects the long bones, such as the arm and leg. This case report underscores the pivotal role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of a 14-year-old male diagnosed with osteosarcoma, who underwent above-knee amputation. The structured six-week rehabilitation program, encompassing passive, active-assisted, and active exercises for the affected limb, alongside strength training for unaffected joints, produced notable gains in the pain rating scale and the lower-extremity functional scale in just 15 days. These outcomes underscore the significance of early and targeted physiotherapy interventions in optimizing functional outcomes and quality of life for young patients with osteosarcoma after surgery.
骨肉瘤的最早阶段是原始间充质细胞。它通常发生在长骨的干骺端附近，并且通常影响长骨，比如手臂和腿部的长骨。本病例报告强调了物理治疗在一名14岁诊断为骨肉瘤且接受了膝上截肢手术的男性患者康复过程中的关键作用。为期六周的结构化康复计划，包括对患肢进行被动、主动辅助和主动锻炼，以及对未受影响关节进行力量训练，仅在15天内就使疼痛评分量表和下肢功能量表有了显著改善。这些结果强调了早期和有针对性的物理治疗干预对于优化骨肉瘤青年患者术后功能结果和生活质量的重要性。
