Abstract
Limb-sparing surgery is currently the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with soft-tissue sarcoma of the upper extremity. To achieve the best outcome, the reconstructive surgeon must be part of a multidisciplinary team and is required to have a thorough understanding of the whole treatment concept. This article provides an update for the current surgical management of patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the upper extremity. Relevant nonsurgical aspects are also highlighted.
