Abstract
Purpose. In all patients treated at the Centre for Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas of Aarhus the functional outcome is prospectively evaluated by use of the Enneking system for the functional evaluation after surgical treatment of tumours of the musculoskeletal system. This system has been accepted by the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society and the International Symposium on Limb Salvage.Keywords
