Hi all, my name is David and I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of the distal femir back in 2021, I have had 3 major operations on my leg after complications. I am able to transport myself into the kitchen and toilet of my home , I am however afraid to go outside for fear of falling over, it seems such a long recovery and my mobility still isn't great, has anybody else experienced this after limb salvage surgery?

Hi David,

I had osteosarcoma, however in the proximal tibia. I don't have instability issues, but others that had not been dealt with and the orthopaedic care that I received leaves a lot of room for improvement.

Are you having a follow up appointment anytime soon? I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.

My mobility is not good at all because I was left to live with a completely stiff knee (I developed a disease called arthrofibrosis as a consequence of the surgery and now I'm refuse a revision for this).
