Rehabilitation after surgery

We have information about the most common types of surgery for sarcoma, and the rehabilitation pathways too. 

• Amputation 
• Tissue or bone excision 
• Distal and proximal humeral replacement 
• Femoral or tibial replacement 
• Hemipelvectomy without reconstruction
• Hemipelvectomy with reconstruction
• Sacrectomy 

Surgery for sarcoma is individual to you, and often quite complex. Rehabilitation after surgery is different for everyone, and you may need it over a long time. 

Rehabilitation can often last between 1 to 2 years, but depends on the type of surgery you have. It’s important that you continue your rehabilitation programme to get the best possible outcome.
